Pros

You will be asked to do an extraordinary amount of work and to travel frequently, so there's a great opportunity to learn if you have little experience.

Cons

You will be asked to do an extraordinary amount of work...but you won't be well-compensated for it. If you're going to make large personal sacrifices for mediocre compensation in one of the most expensive areas in the world, work for a smaller company that will provide some equity upside. Most senior managers do not live in California. That should speak volumes. No communication between upper management and even senior level functional areas. Dysfunctional, deep-seeded animosity between functional groups. Marketing is sales support, not product management. Very high turnover in marketing and engineering.

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.
