Pros

A product that could actually be useful, large clean office, good coffee.

Cons

The company literally has more managers, VPs and directors than regular employees and despite that nobody is responsible for anything. Rather than taking steps on solving problems the management prefers to have countless meetings where employees are told how lucky they are to work for such a great company and are expected to tell the management what to do to solve those problems. The software department is a mess. The developers have to write and implement their own requirements. And when things don’t work as they should, the preferred way of dealing with most problems is to justify why it’s not important to fix them now and defer them until further patches (which by the time they’re released will have a bunch of new bugs added). “No code ownership” policy means you will spend majority of your time dealing with other people’s messes and won’t get any credit for it. And if you happen to complete your assignments on time without adding any major bugs to work on later, good luck trying to get a clear direction on what to do after that. Most likely you will be given some task just to keep you busy and will be told later on that a feature you spent a week implementing was a “prototype” (that nobody had a chance to see) and has to be redone. Ultimately working there feels completely unrewarding and kills any desire to improve on the product.

Run Far Away From This Ticking Time Bomb

Pros

- The product really is a game changer. Too bad it is chained to this leadership team. - Coworkers are smart and resilient, and you will bond over shared suffering.

Cons

If you are looking for a place where innovation thrives, keep walking. The product is fantastic, no question. But the people running the show? Picture a boardroom where every leader’s main qualification is saying yes to whatever the CEO says and mistaking delusion for strategy. The CEO believes he is an expert in every department, from marketing to sales to operations to clinical to finance. The reality? The only thing he is good at running is the company into the ground. And it is not even his first time. He has been ousted before, which makes watching this slow motion car crash all the more predictable. And then there is the CCO who manages to be equally terrible, if not worse. He is spineless to the core. Instead of backing his people, he feeds them to the lions, then sets their corpse alight and makes a public example of them. It is the kind of leadership that ensures everyone else keeps their heads down, says nothing, and just hopes they are not next. Culture? Forget it. Culture here is not just dead, it is extinct. The word has been erased and replaced with profit at all costs, even though the profits never show up. What you actually get is fear, silence, and survival mode. The office vibe feels less like a medtech company and more like a support group for people trying to remember why they ever liked their careers. Layoffs are constant, and leadership has bungled them so badly that much of the company’s cash is now tied up in litigation. The standard severance package is one week, yes, one week, because apparently loyalty and contribution have no value here. People are treated as disposable line items, and management does not even bother hiding it. Employees are exhausted, demoralized, and beaten down to the point where new ideas do not just die, they are never even born. Transparency is a fairy tale, accountability is nonexistent, and communication is basically just corporate Mad Libs: “We are in an exciting growth phase.” (Translation: We missed every goal again but please clap.) If you are a job seeker, run far away from this ticking time bomb. If you are an investor, you owe yourself some better due diligence before throwing good money after bad.

Pros

promising piece of technology developed by a smart group (forced out long ago)

Cons

toxic environment with continuous in-fighting & finger-pointing, started with the management; at one point turn over rate was as high as over twenty people within two years, out of a population of less than fifty management team was busy sucking up to ceo by throwing their own people under the bus salary is a joke
