Pros

Good company, generally ethical and fair; tough and usually successful competitor in the medical device market. One of the now dwindling group of companies that still have a pension plan in addition to a 401K.

Cons

Like so many older American firms it is becoming more and more difficult to turn a profit in the states, so success from plants overseas often results in production expansion and growth but not in the US operations. The company is large and diversified so raises are pretty consistent but usually just keep up with inflation and such.

Pros

People are nice to others. business is growing every year. cash rich company so you can be always acquirers. nowadays, us headquarter is hiring good people outside.

Cons

People are caring about themselves not the team. many employees don't understand team work and leadership. terrible politics happens again and again. since senior managers are very polictical they don't punish staff who does terrible things to team members. overall quality of employees are very low.
