Pros

Top medical equipment company. Uses the latest technology and creates customer driven products.

Cons

I was fooled by all of the positive reviews, but maybe that just depends on the location. Diabetes Care in Northridge demands a lot from it employees. Be ready to work more than 8 hours a day everyday and expect last minute requests from management on a regular basis. The staff tries their best, but management seems to care more about daily stats on a project. Not recommended if you want a job that focuses on research and development instead of having to answer to management regularly. I would rate the company 1 star based on the management, but I gave it 2 stars because the employees are team players.

Pros

The best company I’ve ever worked for.

Cons

Really can’t think of many. It’s heavily matrixed but that’s to be expected.

Pros

Generous, old-school benefits. Almost twice the PTO as other places I've worked, excellent healthcare, 401K matching, etc. Many high-quality colleagues and a generally mellow, polite business culture.

Cons

Multiple competing bureaucracies, internal consultancies, a computer-illiterate 'stakeholder' class with permission to disrupt anything, and perverse incentives driving waste.
