Pros

Helping the epilepsy patient population is rewarding.

Cons

It's obvious after years of working for neuromodulation that the leadership doesn't have what it takes to grow the therapy or inspire their employees. In typical corporate fashion they waste money on consultants to cover up their failure to diversify the company's revenue streams with failed investment after failed investment. The executives then punch down rather then take accountability for their poor decision making. They cut compensation and raise prices to create the illusion of growth. Their annual price increases have crossed over to unethical as they profit gratuitously off the epilepsy population at the expense of the health care system. The President of Neuromodulation is profoundly disliked and seems to lack even basic business acumen skills. It's widely believed he was hired because he won't stand up to the executives and advocate for the salesforce. He has forced out anyone who doesn't get inline with his misguided narrative and continues to hire people with zero knowledge of the epilepsy market place. There is no one left who will give genuine feedback to correct the course the company has taken.

Pros

I think leadership puts a lot of thought into strategy, including the new human imperatives. They're having the right discussions and gathering employee insights. The culture is good and getting better from where i sit (but there is a lot of variability on experiences based on location culture) and I haven't met very many 'weak links' - people are smart and they work hard. Most people really, sincerely care about helping patients.

Cons

The size of the company means career pathing will just be limited. You really have to take control of your path and forge it- you can't wait for the organization to bubble up opportunities for you in a way that may be possible at larger organizations.
