Pros

Clean, good benefits, high regard for good behavior. Profanity and sexual language not allowed. Safety is important.

Cons

Promotions are few and far and typically only for the sales and marketing teams. Middle managers have been either hired or promoted that do not possess the much needed people skills and leadership skills to solve the problems that arise in a competitive medical market. Then all the workers are expected to endure their bad behaviors and lack of leadership.

Great benefits and company culture, frequent opportunities to interface with senior leaders and executives.

Pros

Solid steady company, generally nice people and it can help people advance if they so choose.

Cons

Privately owned, so many decisions are made arbitrarily, not always having to be vetted properly. Globally, decisions would be made that would not be in the best interests of the US market. Also, if you're an internal employee, it could be difficult to be promoted/advance within the company. You get stuck with new duties, but no new titles/pay.
