Pros

Health care industry - ironically some of the poorest health care benefits for a company this size, given how much money they make selling over priced devices and implants. Valuable work experience??

Cons

Poor pay - The VP of HR has stated that their goal is to pay at the 50th percentile (i.e. strictly average) but hire top talent. Poor work life balance - most managers are clock watchers and care about the hours put in and not the results. Outdated facilities - other than the Corporate and Orthopedic facilities, company doesn't like to reinvest in its business. This is a great company to invest in if you're a shareholder, they deliver value by screwing their employees!

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.
