10/10 work environment - Anonymous employee Altus Spine Employee Review

Altus Spine is a great place for engineering students to learn about the medical device industry. It boasts a truly impressive facility, sharing a working environment with its sister company, Acero Precision. Consequently, there are plenty of opportunities to crosstrain between the two companies in a wide range of skillsets. The work one does has a tangible impact and provides plenty of opportunities to learn and develop. Spinal implants and instruments are a highly regulated industry, so gaining experience with the interplay between R&D and Quality necessary to bring such a product to market is incredibly valuable.

Work can be somewhat monotonous, at times, but that's to be expected for an internship position.

Direct, same building relationship with manufacturers Hands on capabilities for learning system interfaces Smaller company allows for more collaboration between departments. Largely custom based work keeps engineers involved in design projects.

Roles and management have loose structure which, while the freedom is nice, can create confusion in how projects and goals are delegated. Fairly new staff can make understanding previous engineering decisions difficult.
