Pros

there is a Constant Challenge to over deliver results. Work load is quite heavy but you need to learn to prioritize. It is more important to deliver excelent results on 5 items than half finished on 15. The exposure to senior level managers is very positive as is the accesibility to them. Corporate traning is among the best especially in the Crotonville training center. And a given but important above all today is that integrity is impecable.

Cons

Work life balance is a real challenge. The company will demand more out of you, your job to determine priorities. The resources are tight especially the people. Very lean organization. Work for the 500 lb gorilla ... lots of competition and many people like you. Really have to outperform the rest to stand out.

Pros

My first job after college and my internship was a great experience. I learned a lot about medical devices and the medical device industry, and I even got promoted to site leader pretty quickly.

Cons

My training was nonexistent; I learned everything from medical device service manuals. In my region, a billion-dollar company offered no bonuses or decent pay, and the management was micromanaging and horrible.
