Pros

The product is incredible and the culture is conducive to hard working individuals who are passionate about their work, and mostly very friendly. The expectations are high but you can maintain a work/life balance if you take the responsibility to do so. No one will stop you from overworking, but they also won't make you to stay all night. The executive leadership is top-tier, and the engineering-minded CEO feels appropriate for a heavily technically-focused company (although I am biased as an engineer). The leadership is also very transparent compared to most as they will (despite some of these other reviews) correct their path and discuss the reasons for their decisions openly. I think 5+ years ago the mentality was more like a start-up, and is shifting towards that of a larger corporation, but that transition is natural for a growing company. The benefits and stock incentives are second to none (don't think gyms, free lunch, and nap-rooms like Google, think RSUs, options, and ESPP for all employees regardless of rank).

Cons

It's difficult to stay competitive in Silicon Valley with regards to compensation, and while the stock incentives are superb, I think certain areas of the company are learning the hard way that salaries are on the low side.

Pros

Inspiring and innovative product. Management is very transparent and is willing to give constant constructive feedback. The pay is great and the benefits are competitive for the Bay Area. Feeling like you are contributing to better surgical outcomes for patients is very rewarding

Cons

Management is unwilling to change their ways especially if they have been at the company a while. Culture is stuck between the "old" buttoned up conservative culture and a new emerging culture more consistent with other Silicon Valley companies. Demanding hours expected to take work home with you, which makes work life balance tough

Good, but not that great

Pros

The company offers competitive salaries, low-cost medical, nice employee stock purchase plans, cash bonus and some stock options in an attempt to attract and keep talented people. Because the company is faster-paced, it's good to know you have quality talent around you. People on the whole are more accountable here because they do have a greater sense of ownership. The product is great and the company really focuses on how the product really helps people. The executive management team is very good and has the company moving in the right direction. ISI is the unquestioned market leader and has positioned itself to stay that way for a long time.

Cons

The company is now too mature to be considered a start-up, so it's having a lot of new growing pains as it attempts to fight off pending competition. Managers who were good at pushing to get MORE productivity at any cost, just to keep up with explosive growth, are now struggling when having to introduce processes that maintain productivity while improving operational efficiency for long-term growth. While the executive management team inspires great confidence in the direction of the company, an alarmingly growing segment of middle-management is being exposed as ill-equipped and unready to transition this company to the next phase of maturation. Too many of these folks are there because of tenure, being rewarded after having survived very busy periods, and it's very apparent that they lack the skill set to match the changing requirements of the business. We've seen a mini-exodus where many of the good individual contributors who have grown the company, have decided to take their gains and start fresh elsewhere instead of suffering along.
