Pros

Some good staff, but they have left/are leaving

Cons

Management hires consultants and spends millions to cover up the problems staff knows about. When they finally admit staff is right, they hire new consultants. The company is under a Corporate Integrity Agreement for lying to patients and the government. The people who have survived the turnover are the incompetents who make life miserable: The device division folks who say their product cures cancer and works just fine after a few kicks are still there; the project manager docs whose investigation isn't working but the records aren't good enough to prove that; the self-important; the poseurs. The company is losing intellectual property exclusivity so the generous benefits are in the past.

Pros

The people working here are supportive, compassionate and great joy to work with.

Cons

Their finance department is incredibly difficult to communicate with as it's like the FBI & CIA. They really need their own form of Homeland Security to manage their fiance matters.
