Pros

Great innovative products with strong clinical research background. The R&D team does a superb job here. The production and sales team are by far the most cohesive unit that I have worked for. They communicate well and attempt to see the big picture. The company in whole is flexible in making sure a realistic work life balance exists.

Cons

The culture for the response to change is slow. Often times this get muddled into department perspectives slows down project timelines. The company does not appear to promote within and promotions seem to occur far slower than what I have noticed in other companies. This is discouraging especially when you see colleagues working in the same role for 10 years and see a new manager that is being trained by the same colleagues. I am still not sure the business tactic in regards to the slow promotion. Like other companies, a lot of negative attitudes surround the company. If you can navigate around the negativity, this is a great place to work.

Pros

Benefits were good. Paid holidays and vacation time. Good work & life balance. Yearly bonus. Free vitamins and monthly free lunches. Great products. Some growth potential if you know who to speak to AND how to speak with them i.e. by throwing others under the bus! To the cons!

Cons

The owner is very opinionated and well known in the industry. Look it up. Sometimes entertaining sometimes terrifying but the company is a success so he must be doing something right. A big problem was the hateful office politics machine. Some managers would cosy up to the owner for their own best interests and would lie through their teeth to get their message across. No morals. Talented people left because of this. Lots of chest pounding but no accountability when mistakes were made by the managers. Their underlings got the blame even when they were following instructions!!! The so called expert in the industry guy was as shady as they come. He would stab people in the back then drone on about how they didn't understand the details of the business while he conspired with others to make their work a living hell. His closest cohort (more senior) was unaware that the guy wanted his position. That will no doubt happen since the other guys actions were unbelievable and totally unprofessional. Lots of disconnect between depts that caused lots of infighting. Reading endless email threads and listening to coworkers talking trash about each other gave me headaches.
