Pros

Unlimited vacation time, dedicated and friendly staff

Cons

Hillrom in Skaneateles Falls, NY made some poor decisions during the pandemic. A medical device company that manufactures and sells medical thermometers, vital sign monitors, and hospital beds sold more than expected in 2020. How did they reward their employees? With coerced early retirements and layoffs. By the end of 2020, the company was woefully understaffed and management had no intentions of filling in the gaps or supporting the remaining employees. We lost several very knowledgeable long-time employees and suffered for it.

Pros

Remote Flexibility: The ability to work remotely was a massive benefit, allowing for great autonomy, daily independence, and the ability to focus entirely on deliverables without distraction. Product Portfolio: Working here provides excellent exposure to complex matrix operations,

Cons

Workplace Culture: The internal team environment can be highly toxic, fragmented, and lacking in genuine support or positive morale. There is an over-rotation on pointing out negativity rather than fostering constructive or collaborative growth. Management Style: There is a noticeable disconnect in leadership, with heavy systemic pressure and a cultural noise that can be difficult to navigate if you are not isolated from the main hubs. The level of micromanagement is exceptionally high, which stifles individual autonomy. Furthermore, cross-border or cross-functional communication with team members in other countries is heavily restricted and actively frowned upon, creating unnecessary operational silos.
