Pros

Good vacation time to start, decent benefits, decent corporate management, cutting edge medical technology.

Cons

Under average compensation. Subjective profit sharing makes for small bonuses. Bonuses often offered as catered food instead of currency. Culture is that they can hire anyone to do cutting edge technology work as long as the instructions to do the work are written well, often leads to quality issues. No matter what the training and experience level, employees are treated almost as fools.

Pros

Work life balance if you enjoy not working and pretending or shuffling papers left and right.

Cons

Boring. Lacks culture. Lacks team building. Not strategy, clear structure. Just people running around pretending to be busy. Striving for average results. Leadership are self centred. There is no talent there and they will cut people and not give them a heads up or communicate with the rest of the business that it is happening. A shonky set of redundancies, based on popularity.

Pros

We used to have a great team and high morale. Lately we are losing people faster than we can replace them.

Cons

If we are lucky enough to get replacements the people we do get are lacking and not up to par. We are so short staffed we have to keep them

Hello, it's a pity to hear that the team has changed so much and that quite a few colleagues left. We can imagine that has affect on you as well and we really appreciate you sharing your thoughts on this. Thanks for your review and all the work you're doing for us!
