      Good but low pay

      Account specialist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -You really do feel like you're making a difference -No micro managing. The managers aren't really on you that much and it's nice to have the freedom to do what I want and focus on what I want to during my day -break room had cheap snacks and sodas

      Cons

      Pay. For the work that you do the pay is not enough and a lot of companies offer a lot more. That's my only real gripe. For the work I was doing the pay was not enough at all. When it comes to raises they might offer at most a 2-3% raise annually. Which is about the same rate as inflation so you continue to make the same money no matter how long you work there.

      A challenge in a good way

      Senior mechanical engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Definitely pushes me to be better at my job and progress to the next level of my career. Sink or swim kinda thing. Well compensated. My group is both supportive in this fast paced, challenging environment and allows for work/life balance and encourages taking time off. I hear that may not be true company wide (con), but if you can find a manager like that, this place is a win.

      Cons

      No 401k (yet, but company stock more than makes up for it... if you get it). Culture doesn't really provide an opportunity to slow down and reflect or methodically work through a problem. It's all go go go go go. I am luck with the group I'm in supporting a "slower" more thought-out, methodical process. It really adds ballast to what would otherwise be an imbalanced culture. That's going to be group specific though. Your manager will allow the space for work/life balance... or not.

      First few months were great .......

      Territory business manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great device that improves the quality of life for patients. There are some great people that work for the company.

      Cons

      Senior mgmt is clueless when it comes to field sales. They are more concerned about metrics that do not matter. Never seen a company that has so many inside managers trying to justify their existence within the company. This company is a joke to work for and they screwed up what was working just fine before they introduced IMS data that has clearly handicapped the business and our ability to do our jobs.

      We appreciate this feedback and have taken it seriously. We are proud of our products and we do have a great team of people who have made us the fastest growing company in our industry segment for many years. We have a constant flow of new products, new FDA applications and new clinical studies to drive even greater sales. We are sorry that you have this impression of our management and metrics, and hopefully this will change as you continue to work with both – we have a very talented sales force, and we have an equally talented group of leaders who care deeply about our sales force. Each field sales team member has an assigned territory and manages sales and relationships with health care providers and clinics in their territory. Our space has become increasingly competitive, and we constantly search for new tools and methods to assist our field sales force in being more effective. Our use of IMS data has helped us focus our sales efforts, while giving appropriate credit for such sales, and over time should enable our sales team to achieve greater sales more efficiently. We will continue to improve our use of data and market research and find additional ways to help our sales team, and we welcome specific feedback on ideas you and all of our sales team may have. However, increasing competition and regulation will drive us to continuously revise our selling process, and successful sales team members embrace and lead our change efforts.
