Pros

Purpose driven company with strong values. Company has become much more innovative and comfortable with risk last few years. It is making major investments in new markets and technologies. Global growth presents good opportunities for people who work there and like the rapid pace environment.

Cons

Sometimes it feels like there is to much to do for the resources we have. The good news is that we really like what we do but we can feel stretched.

Business Outlook

Pros

Working for a global, and fairly prestigious medical device company. The salary and benefits are not terrible. I don't mind the company itself.

Cons

Dealing with management, their presumptions, stereotypes, judgements, and racism. It seems to me that this particular bd company has promoted the wrong type of people who lack the compassion and professionalism that comes along with having the gracious role of being over people.
