Business Outlook

Pros

great people, no politics (except for upper management), good healthcare benefits, workout facility on site, decent cafe, profit sharing, great product line, mobility for new hires, sick leave

Cons

very low life/work balance, layoffs without warning, new hires are all grad students, new hires are a revolving door, no appreciation for hard work and long hours (work harder), directors and above seem to have their own agenda, talk the talk but don't walk the walk (only interested in profits), very reactive atmosphere

Business Outlook

Pros

They make some awesome medical equipment, some of it is world class.

Cons

They do layoffs frequently, sometimes two to three times a year but count on at least one a year minimum. This is done to beef up the stock price, unfortunately at the expense of new development and disposable employees.

Business Outlook

Pros

Quality colleagues, good pay. Financially strong.

Cons

No soul, you are a number. Led by financial management more focused on their own careers then on guiding the company to success, politics play a leading role, not business. Only strategy they are following is divestment and cost cutting. Employees are either complacent and happy with their salaries, burned out or ignored.
