Pros

Interesting products and innovative technologies.

Cons

UX is not understood or appreciated. The company’s leadership has decades of experience as engineers. Because of this, products lag behind the industry in terms of usability and design sophistication. The Surgical OU is particularly bad. I don’t see this changing until the C-suite understands that design is THE difference between winning and loosing in today’s market. Stay away if you want to grow and be taken seriously as a designer.

Pros

The best company I’ve ever worked for.

Cons

Really can’t think of many. It’s heavily matrixed but that’s to be expected.

Pros

Generous, old-school benefits. Almost twice the PTO as other places I've worked, excellent healthcare, 401K matching, etc. Many high-quality colleagues and a generally mellow, polite business culture.

Cons

Multiple competing bureaucracies, internal consultancies, a computer-illiterate 'stakeholder' class with permission to disrupt anything, and perverse incentives driving waste.
