Pros

Good place to learn the medical device business. Benefits were great and competetive.

Cons

Still very family owned and influenced...and decisions are ultimately about preserving the Karl Storz name in their products. If you are planning to join KS, the company is a very marketing-sales driven organization and would, as a piece of friendly advice, to go in with that consideration.

Pros

Great benefits and company culture, frequent opportunities to interface with senior leaders and executives.

Cons

Roles and responsibilities are demanding, complex organization to understand, and requires in-office days if you are in proximity to a regional hub.

Pros

Solid steady company, generally nice people and it can help people advance if they so choose.

Cons

Privately owned, so many decisions are made arbitrarily, not always having to be vetted properly. Globally, decisions would be made that would not be in the best interests of the US market. Also, if you're an internal employee, it could be difficult to be promoted/advance within the company. You get stuck with new duties, but no new titles/pay.
