Pros

Good people do exist there, they are just forced to throw others under the bus rather than owning mistakes in an attempt at self preservation due to fear of public admonishment by the CEO.

Cons

Backstabbing, dishonesty, talking behind others backs, CEO is not an honorable individual, he is most of the "-ists" that you can think of. Women are forced to wear high heels. If you are a young female, you will advance here, but be paid well under what you are really worth. The entire company will know before you do, if you are under performing, the gossip chain is strong here, management is the most guilty. Stand up for yourself if you must accept employment here, might get you fired, but at least you will maintain your self worth. You will be expected to live and breathe this company, even at the expense of your family and personal safety, with absolutely no appreciation or thank you.

Pros

The company has excellent benefits.

Cons

The upper management at the company is not organized. I had one manager who was easy-going, but the next one was passive-aggressive. In addition, just prior to my separation from the company, they bought and completely refurbished a new location. However, the manufacturing floor in the new location was not large enough for the projected manufacturing output. This is a sign of the poor planning that was common in upper management. Also, Zeiss, the corporate overlords, have a large exposure to China, which is currently in a recession or depression. As a result, all divisions of the corporation, including Katalyst Surgical, have had to tighten their belts.
