Pros

Excellent products, challenging environment, lot of smart and committed people

Cons

Backstabbing is king. Management takes decisions based on hearsay, gossip and perceptions. You are expected to work any amount of hours at any given time. For them, company goes first, your life is second. The best employee in the world for them is a "yes man". Personal politics have more weight than any results - you can make any amount of mistakes if you are from the "selected" group, you cannot slip if you are out.

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.
