Pros

I worked in Oral Healthcare (Seattle, WA, USA area) for several years doing device development. - Interesting work despite being toothbrushes - Sense of pride from helping people - Good company culture - Matching 401k, health benefits, etc.

Cons

- Recent leadership changes have the company in a tailspin - Campus is not exceptional if that is important to you - Compensation does not compete with other companies in the area in terms of salary or stock options - Very little room for advancement

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
