Pros

This was a great company; it was small enough that everyone knew what was going on and how it affected each and every area. Lots of responsibility and hours, the the reward was worth it.

Cons

GE placed the first nail in the coffin by putting systems into place that were inappropriate, excessive, and costly thereby taking a very profitable company into a limping one. CareFusion acquired company in January 2014 and placed the final nails. Operations in Totowa and Colorado are closing with manufacturing moving to Mexico. Currently there is a skeleton crew (contractors) and the organization is sliding in quality, quantity, and international presence. CareFusion executive managment is blind to what their staff is doing as well as their lack of expertise and experience with running this type of organization and product line. They will be done by December 2014; only the brain dead are left.

Pros

Many benefits of the company. You got to learn a lot of different parts of the company at a very fast pace. If you worked in the quality department from a few year ago, you would be able to learn documentation, CAPA, complaints, QA, QC parts of engineering and projects.

Cons

The company changed dramatically and lost what they were known for once GE purchased them. After 5 years with GE, GE sold them to Carefusion who decided to close the company down 5 months after they purchased them. The assets were shipped down to Mexico for manufacturing purposes.
