Pros

Nothing is good about this "Flim Flam" Bozo Company!!!

Cons

Why the FDA had not yet cracked down on this company is beyond me! Training consists of simply signing a form on a project,(to appear to appease the FDA), without ANY real formal training! Yet the employee is held fully accountable for the results and the "quality"! If the FDA REALLY knew how they ran this business, they would shut them down in a heartbeat. They cheat and hide procedures when they know that the FDA is going to do an audit. Lead weights used to hold catheters in position while coating! (Well folks, lead is a poison!) The FDA direly needs to very closly investigate SurModics With a very fine tooth comb! Medical Device companies should avoid SurModics at all costs, or you may be pulled down with them by the FDA & ISO!!!!!

Pros

Flexible with time, (ie. being able to leave for an appt and come back to work). Not always so routine. Tasks and projects may vary month to month.

Cons

No good checks and balances system for management. No recognition to the hard working individuals which in turn causes dissatisfaction and bad relationships between a person and their manager. 401K matching has stopped for almost a year, yearly raises have simply been cost of living adjustments (if that much).

Pros

Can't think of any since things took a turn for the worst.

Cons

Lots of people quitting in the last year since the announcement (and continued delays) of the attempted acquisition by GTCR. All of the senior engineers have quit, leaving behind a very inexperienced workforce without much guidance. And this was all BEFORE the FTC decided to sue GTCR and Surmodics for an unlawful acquisition.
