Great place to work.

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Management is willing to have a flexable schedule within reason. Always an opertunity for advancement, either management or tech growth. People are willing to help out when asked and show a lot of respect for your work. There is a shut down for certain parts of the company between Christmas to New Years, which is really nice, but it does require you to use a couple of your vacation.

Cons

With all big companies, there is always small things that could be fixed but over looked. Not all departments have the same holidays, this makes it hard for support personal, only because they might have to work on a day off.

Ok place to start a career, but don't stay long and don't guage this as the way all medical companies are managed.

Manufacturing engineering manager

Business Outlook

Pros

A good place to meet people in the medical device industry for networking. Not a bad place to start your career, if you can put up with the incompetence of management - at least in the areas of Manufacturing Engineering and Operations.

Cons

Incompetent management. Managers here are promoted too quickly, before they have any real experience. The criteria for promotions is unclear, other than "who you know". Hard work and competency does not get you ahead in this company. Therefore most people leave the company or get asked to leave within 5 years or so. Morale is very low. Innovation is severely lacking. And quality systems are a major weakness here.

A good place to gain experience and work with intelligent and friendly people, but with many layers of management

Business Outlook

Pros

Working on projects at the forefront of the industry provides great learning opportunities and a great way to gain experience. The benefits are good and above average for the industry and there is flexibility with work schedule and taking vacation time. Global interaction and occasional opportunities for travel are also a plus. Most of the time, colleagues are friendly and easy to work with.

Cons

There are multiple layers of management (expected for a large corporation), that slow down communication across the organization. Reorganization also seems to be a common theme throughout various areas of the company, thus lowering morale. Employee turnover is moderate. Salaries don't seem to be as high as other companies and the ways to advance your career or get promoted are not clear.
