      Don't recommend if you are ambitious and want career development

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -Work / life balance can be good, the place clears out before 6PM and many people work from home a lot -Pay is about average for the industry -Company's mission is very meaningful

      Cons

      -Pace is VERY slow, processes are really broken for such a large company. Who knows how things will change with the Carefusion merger -Limited career development options, especially if you are not connected to the right senior leaders

      Too Much Politics

      Anonymous employee

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Work/life balance was good and time-off policy was pretty fair.

      Cons

      On the surface, everybody seemed nice and polite but Backstabbing was wide spread. Office politics was too rampant that it frequently delayed new product development and launches.

      What you would expect out of a company this old

      Pros

      very good work life, truly value driven organization, successful track record, relatively stable environment. Culture of nice people.

      Cons

      budgets change almost daily - if you don't spend your budget the second you get it expect to have it taken away even in a great year. run by old boys club of the old guard, which is recognized but very difficult to change. doesn't invest in training their people, matrix where nobody has decision rights, hugely change averse, doesn't know "what good looks like" and would rather feel their way around in certain functions in an undisciplined fashion than bring in experts and stick with their advise. Poor track record with diversity and supporting women in the work place...though its working to improve the latter
