Pros

Great benefits, good work/life balance. Good products. Stable company (with current reorganization, some positions eliminated but management made an effort to find a position within the company for the displaced employees) Can work your way up even without a technical or healthcare background.

Cons

Slow in getting products approved. Overall, very limited career opportunities although some are promoted quickly but majority, not. If you are a professional like an accountant, project specialist, marketing coordinator, these positions are usually classified as exempt in most other companies but at Karl Storz they are classified as nonexempt so if you are not accustom to it or it affects your "ego"it may be take time to adjust

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

Roles and responsibilities are demanding, complex organization to understand, and requires in-office days if you are in proximity to a regional hub.

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.
