Good for a while, then disappointing

Pros

Decent benefits, important products, seems to care about patients, some nice people to work with, interesting projects, international scope provides learning and good exchange.

Cons

As others have said, little opportunity for advancement or development of skill sets by working in other related areas. Unable to think creatively or take calculated risks. Opportunities and assignments kept by managers for themselves to grow or secure their own position. Only a few, favored anointed golden men or women get the attention, the assignments to cement their careers and escape the layoffs time after time. Management was totally deceptive about layoffs, kept them out of the news (although competitors make public announcements) and gave no notice whatsoever. Severance was minimal and other related requirements onerous. Although happening throughout the industry, many very smart, capable, productive, educated contributors with excellent reviews have been laid-off.

Good, Reliable Company

Pros

Good job security, average to above average pay, good benefits, community oriented company. Very social place to work with average to above average respect for the individual shown by upper management to the front line workers.

Cons

Chances for advancement are not great after rising to lower middle management. Raises are practically non-existent. A significant amount of promotions as well as hiring of other family members, etc smacks heavily of favoritism.
