Pros

Amazing product. Life saving and life changing. Enjoyed working with the field team and getting opportunities that wouldn't normally be available thanks to the field team.

Cons

No resources, very US-centric and difficult for ppl working outside US. Management just does not understand how things operate outside the US. Continually being thrown more and more responsibilities with no compensation.

Pros

Product is a Life Saver medical device for those with heart conditions. Otherwise, this company needs to hit bottom rock VERY HARD to be called "a nice place to work..."

Cons

NO CULTURE AND/OR VALUES.PERIOD. Working here was a "do as I said...doesn't matter it is been done wrong. Not open to new ideas. The mentality is about money-making, Quality will solve issues latter. No cojones to talk with the true. Quality Systems has no heading nor ethics to follow the regulations and their own QSR. Too many so called "Professionals" with no brain and guts to speak what is right or wrong to do. There are a lots of morons making business decisions without following the policies, procedures and regulations. Too much people on gossips....lack of understanding what and how to do their job properly.

Pros

Amazing life saving technology, the HVAD product is amazing. Hoping that in the future, MVAD will be the next generation product at HeartWare that will save more lives. The CEO is great.

Cons

Very, very difficult to get resources. Even senior management struggles to get administrative resources. Big divide between the Framingham office and the Miami Lakes office, 2 very different cultures that clash on a regular basis. Turnover is starting to become a major issue and hiring people into the company is challenging due to HR not having a strong team and the proper resources. HR needs to address the turnover issue and come up with a strategy.
