Pros

At the moment, this is a growth company, primarily through acquisition. This allows for new opportunities to shine when those acquisitions are made. Overall, there is a large focus on talent management between strengths based leadership, specialized learning & development teams, and a thorough hiring process. It's hard to get in, but as a result you get really good people for the most part.

Cons

Because of the transition from the small company mentality to the large corporation mentality, there is a LOT of extreme change in the air. The more recent trend has been to hire mid-level management roles externally rather than promoting from within, which often limits growth opportunities. When those external managers are brought in, they are incentivized to perform immediately rather than to approach with analysis and thoughtful change. This causes disengagement from employees. You typically see this in a department or two at a time, not across the company.

Pros

The individual contributors you work with are fantastic people and the products we work on are really interesting and have significant impacts on patient care.

Cons

Sports Medicine has unfortunately changed from a dynamic and collaborative group to one being led by toxic leadership. Rather than working together and trusting team members, they now have an in group and out group. If you’re in the in group, you can say anything you want without being questioned and be automatically trusted even when your track record says otherwise. If you’re in the out group and your message doesn’t align with what the leadership wants to hear, then you are automatically wrong and not to be trusted.
