Pros

Reverse commute Good mix of people; young and diverse (but mostly white college grads) Strong name with a good reputation Used to have a great culture Lots of opportunities to move around to different roles or departments

Cons

Does not pay well - especially in the Bay Area. Promotions happen a lot on who you know, not what you know. The company felt more open/welcoming and less stuffy/corporate a few years ago. People walk on egg shells now. Lay offs have started coming and there really is no rhyme or reason to them. Management makes questionable decisions on a regular basis. Worthless mandatory trainings occur every year or so and no one feels like they improve anything or even help at all. A lot of really talented people have left the company recently and it has hurt morale, innovation and direction.

Pros

The individual contributors you work with are fantastic people and the products we work on are really interesting and have significant impacts on patient care.

Cons

Sports Medicine has unfortunately changed from a dynamic and collaborative group to one being led by toxic leadership. Rather than working together and trusting team members, they now have an in group and out group. If you’re in the in group, you can say anything you want without being questioned and be automatically trusted even when your track record says otherwise. If you’re in the out group and your message doesn’t align with what the leadership wants to hear, then you are automatically wrong and not to be trusted.
