Pros
Great technology, market leader in robotic surgery. Mission driven organization, Executive level leadership are humble and aspirational. You get to interact with high-performing and intelligent surgeons on a daily basis if you’re in the Field. Lots of opportunities to jump to different divisions from Commercial organization aka “Jungle Gym”. Generous ESPP.
Kontras
Medical Device company that wants to transition into Medical Technology, but still has many of the outdated mindsets and practices of typical Med Device. Executive leaders CEO, COO are very impressive, but middle management is a hit or miss. Clear that there’s a diversity gap in the Recruitment, Commercial, and Commercial Learning teams. Awkward for high-performing BIPOCs/ Minorities -You will feel left out, but be patient as you will find support from others who are also going through the same experience. To thrive here, you will likely have to conform to the typical Med Device successful profile (very stepford wife/husband). It’s not quite as bad as Stryker’s sales reps’ lack of diversity , but definitely has a lot of room for improvement. They hired a new I&D VP, perhaps she will focus more on improving the diversity at the FRONT LINE level (Reps, Managers, Etc). It all starts with recruitment … don’t think the current employees don’t notice your last CAST class being 98% Caucasian, or that your surgeons and staff are a diverse group of people and your reps aren’t? Very strange and definitely not representative of the population. 401k is dismal.
