Pros

Low stress. Great people. Relatively stable medical device company. Benefits are above average.

Cons

I never saw anyone get purely promoted in over 2 years. Employees have to apply to 'higher paying' positions, interview, and get selected. Basically, you have to promote yourself because your boss will never do it for you. A lot of really good people simply leave the company because of this.

OK company to work for

Pros

Recession-proof products. High profit margin. Stable employment if you are in engineering or R&D. Parking is OK. Great location. Food & entertainment is right next door (Asian food mall). Traffic in & out of facility is good. Good Irvine location.

Cons

Almost no chance to move up. Middle mgnt is bad. Turnovers among engineers is relatively high for medical companies because German-owned companies pay low & you work to death if you were in engr, R&D. If you are in production, chance of getting laid off is likely.
