Pros

Many opportunities to move within the company. Nice name recognition for your resume. They like to hire former military. There can be some good training ooportunities. Some good perks if your lucky.

Cons

Seem to always meet cost targets by cutting headcount. Sometimes too bureaucratic to get anything done. Long hours are unwritten rule. (Get to work before your boss/manager, and don't leave before they do!) They talk about work/life balance, but that is just a program. The almighty dollar is king- stock price is the golden idol. Some people horde information, to ensure job security... makes it harder for the rest of us to do our jobs.

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.
