Pros

Pay appears good on surface until you actually experience what is expected. Decent benefits on par with other major medical device companies. Decent cafeteria on site. Many well equipped conference rooms on campus so that you can carry out productive meetings. On site gym is decent and monthly dues are cheap. Basketball court on site too. Non smoking campus.

Cons

Highly political organization where you find your job will be pulled in all directions. They will always use the excuse that "we are saving lives" to cause you to work ultra long hours. Work life balance is not a consideration. Sink or Swim Environment. Processes are not up to par with the result that you will have to work extra hard to get the job done to expectation. Again, work life balance is not a consideration. If you don't do as told or "as expected,", you may experience coercion. Competitive and cutthroat work environment some might even call abusive. This place is very different from what it was just five years ago as I experienced. There has been high turnover and some of this turnover continues to today. They give you "one week downtime holiday" between Christmas and New Years so you are sold that you get three weeks vacation. In reality, only works out to about 2 weeks and three days vacation with no floating holidays. So, it's just like you are starting out in any other company with two weeks vacation keeping in mind other companies usually give you two floating holidays.
