Business Outlook

Pros

Mostly strong and well directed management aligned with company goals. Market leading healthcare products designed, built and marketed by well qualified people with a goal of making healthcare better, safer and more efficient.

Cons

Typical large company issues: Communication between depts, slow to adopt new tech to support employees (new CAD versions, computer HW, business mgmt tools, etc). HR is far removed from direct employee interaction, all done online, not effective. Also, a fast paced, sometimes high stress environment.
