Disorganized and slow moving

Pros

Pay, work from home two days a week, the mission of improving patient lives, our work matters.

Cons

For the most part, the organization and its workforce feels disorganized, lacks strategic thinking, and in some cases, tolerates and tacitly condones laziness. It takes weeks and months to make any progress on projects because only a handful of executives have the authority to approve even small steps forward, causing bottlenecks. Thus, an expert in any one area can’t truly “own” their role.

Pros

Met some decent people who genuinely work to better the company. Concerned CEO

Cons

If you’re a “yes man”, if you have no self respect, if you like being walked over this is the place for you. The environment – is male dominated with little to no cultural diversity which allows for lines to not only to be crossed but to be pretty much erased. HR hit the snooze button on this one a looong time ago so if you’re female looking for opportunities I would highly encourage you to stay away from this cesspool. Middle Management – is only interested in maintaining their position until retirement. They favor a “you’re on your own attitude” and knowledge workers will be expected to fend for themselves in a highly politically charged atmosphere. No direction, no project management skills, let the BS rain. Company culture – what company culture? There is no motivation from upper management, no presence, no dialogue. People at the company are starved for basic affirmation and someone is always ready to throw you under the bus or take credit for your efforts to advance their own position. Morale is the lowest I’ve seen in any company I’ve worked for. Compensation – is decent but below average.

Pros

Above-average compensation (Which ends up being a double-edged sword as you feel you cannot leave to anywhere else without taking a major paycut) Good benefits Decent amount of PTO Cool perks (free coffee, lunches sometimes brought in)

Cons

The "honeymoon" phase is over in about 6-12 months depending on which dept you work, before that it seems like an awesome place to work, until you figure out what is really going on behind the scenes Absolutely atrocious management in most divisions with the exception of Spinal Implants and the Finance & IT depts. (I will say if you get into one of the depts you'll probably be great) Lack of solid leadership from top-down. (with the exception of a few presidents who from what I've heard are now GONE anyway) Game-playing and politics are a constant poison to the environment, and most of it is instituted by upper management with the lower-level employees taking the brunt of the consequence. And I am talking serious game-playing, including sabotage in the form of gossip amongst middle-management. Trust NO ONE with any piece of information. Favoritism is extremely tangible at this company. Lack of recognition for employees who consistently perform hard. Cannot get promoted unless you play the 'game' and even then you have to be careful because if you are too good you may be seen as a threat, so you won't go anywhere either! All of this sounds very over-dramatized, but I assure you, I am trying to sound as objective as possible as I was not technically 'burned' by anyone. I left on my own accord as I possessed stellar reviews and was repeatedly told there was options for advancement, however I would then get passed over by other individuals without even the opportunity for an interview. (meaning job was not posted at all for anyone to apply)
