      Pros

      I had a very positive experience at Penumbra and am grateful for the skills that I leaned in design control and the experience of working in medical product development. There is a nice environment of teamwork and friendly collaboration throughout the company, and I felt welcomed as an intern. The internship program was well organized with clear expectations and help from my manager whenever needed.

      Cons

      I have no cons to share of this positive experience and would recommend seeking internship with Penumbra, Inc.

      Love the company, but depending on your department, you'll have a different experience

      Pros

      Easy to work with everyone, open space so all departments can mingle on a regular basis, no one works alone, a lot of help within groups, given a lot of responsibilities right off the bat that you may not get at an entry level position, definitely get to work on many different things, work is constant and lots of variety, great for young out of college people, great experience and can work up the ladder quickly

      Cons

      Depending on the department, you're either respected or not. Extremely based on knowing someone within the company. Upper management is a bit biased and unrealistic expectations, will milk you for all that you're willing to give. Everyone gets along, but underlying hierarchy that no one talks about. Respect for the work you put in is sometimes not acknowledged. If you don't control and put your foot down, easily could work 24/7 and they wouldn't stop you. Sometimes no structure and upper management won't put their foot down. Lots of throwing people under the bus if not careful. You'll plateau at a certain point.

      A fun place to work, grow, and do something meaningful!

      Pros

      Team members are given real product opportunities from day one to do something novel that will have a real impact on something that people are going to use. The culture is one of open communication, and everyone has a voice that will be heard. It's a meritocracy-- if you work hard and generate good results, you'll be recognized fast.

      Cons

      Peers have high expectations that you'll work hard and pick things up. That said, the expectations in terms of hours worked aren't unreasonable.
