      Great place to work. Progressive management philosophy, diverse work force at all levels.

      Pros

      Energetic, fast placed culture. It is highly motivating to help improve people's vision in my own small way. Strong leadership team, although somewhat light in ophthalmic industry experience.

      Cons

      Heavy workload. Highly competitive external environment requires entire organization to rapidly adapt and be one step ahead of competition. There's a tremendous amount of change under way, and while much of it is necessary given the environment, it could be paced and gated better.

      Decent Company, Strange Culture

      Pros

      People are very motivated to help those with diabetes. Nice location. Great pay and benefits (bonus, stock, pension). Better than average job security. Interesting products that help people. A decent place to work overall.

      Cons

      Poor teamwork. Groups are set against each other, and within groups there are favorites and rejects. This is not an open environment: yes-men will flourish. If you are cautious or highlight concerns instead of successes you are often punished. Oversight is ineffective - nobody asks questions in reviews, from bottom to top. (I would be punished if I asked probing questions so I am silent.)

      Pros

      - interesting and fun projects - work life balance - your working on medical devices that save lives - great place for a young engineer, alot of support

      Cons

      - not as many fun and interesting research projects anymore, mostly focused on production of their workhorse stents - can feel like you're lost if you're not given as much support
