Pros

There are some dedicated, seasoned professionals remaining from much company transition. Good medical device products after much emphasis on quality & control. Good work environment (St Paul).

Cons

'Reductions in Force' have ravaged the talent pool forcing remaining staff to take on more & sometimes leading to costly mistakes. Marketing appears to be a revolving door. As an independant, the financial deparment (payment system) lacks in experience/professionalism. Research is lagging... this is a potential death sentence for a Medical Device company. This comapnay is now board-room driven & lacks the leadership that made it 'buy-able'. Good luck now riding past performance. Wall Street is watching.

Pros

Good pay. Good benefits. My coworkers who were at the same level as me were supportive.

Cons

Work environment was highly stressful and often unsustainable. Management created a culture where employees were frequently overworked, undervalued, and burned out. Communication from leadership was inconsistent and their expectations changed frequently. Work-life balance was very poor. Employee concerns did not get taken seriously unless they directly impacted company performance. When an HR compliant involving my supervisor was filed for his behavior with input from the majority of the team members, no meaningful action was taken beyond stating it was handled "per BSC policy". Opportunities for promotion and career advancement were limited. Employees who treated others poorly were often still rewarded or praised as long as performance metrics were met. There was a clear culture of favoritism and hierarchy, and employees outside of those circles could work above and beyond expectations without receiving recognition or advancement opportunities. In 2 years, there were 12 employees who were fired in a 10 person department.
