Pros

If you are a frat boy/girl, you'll love it! Fancy business cards, wasteful but really cool company schwag, and easy to divert blame and responsibility to other people who are not in the "in crowd" if you mess up (assuming YOU are in the "in crowd").

Cons

The most incompetent and clueless top management I have ever seen. Executive management completely turns over about every 1-2 years. Some talented and great people have worked there but always leave or are fired because they protest when they are not allowed to do their jobs. The incompetent ones are left because they are obsequious and do not challenge anything. It felt like Junior High School with the clicks and covert ranking of people except that it was more insidious than what a 13 year old can accomplish.

Pros

I loved being a part of the Avinger team. This company is made up of employees who genuinely care about one another and also care about the product itself. Avinger has a very welcoming environment with employees who truly want to work hard and do their best.

Cons

I can't think of any cons at this time :)

Pros

Medical product has merit but the competition has caught up due to the slow pace of R&D. Majority of senior staff are never around.

Cons

High turnover and an environment where bankruptcy appears eminent. Management is very secretive and reeks of a “good ole boy’s club”. Stock awards never amount to anything and are typically worthless within a year.
