Pros

good place to be manager, lots of products, high margin medical device industry, growth oriented, top management does promote communication, though often does not recognize results.

Cons

not much on info sharing, employees lean towards containment of knowledge, constant questioning is required to gather simple answers, top down management

Pros

Generous, old-school benefits. Almost twice the PTO as other places I've worked, excellent healthcare, 401K matching, etc. Many high-quality colleagues and a generally mellow, polite business culture.

Cons

Multiple competing bureaucracies, internal consultancies, a computer-illiterate 'stakeholder' class with permission to disrupt anything, and perverse incentives driving waste.
