Pros

- Compensation & benefits were decent - About 1/3 of the people you work with are truly pleasant to work with - The company name caries prestige

Cons

God, where to begin... - The majority of leadership I encountered were incredibly demanding of their subordinates, but rarely held themselves accountable for anything - Be prepared to spend a sizable amount of time per day on CYA activities; seriously this will become your new part time job - Get used to senior leadership having 'favorites' and God help you if you're not one of them - Do you like a 40 hour work week? Double it. - Don't care for profanity in meetings? No one cares, get used to it. - Need support from a leader to resolve an item at work? You'd better hope you've done something for them lately or it's not going to happen.

Pros

My first job after college and my internship was a great experience. I learned a lot about medical devices and the medical device industry, and I even got promoted to site leader pretty quickly.

Cons

My training was nonexistent; I learned everything from medical device service manuals. In my region, a billion-dollar company offered no bonuses or decent pay, and the management was micromanaging and horrible.
