Pros

Yes. The technology is very important, and their is a real commitment to advancing the technology to expand application and make Impella safer. In my tenure I can state I became a better business person I made a lot of money. I made, and still have friends at Abiomed.

Cons

Remember this is a business, and you need to park everything else in your life at the door. This is exemplified by the tenure of outside sales and clinical staff. Prima facie things look quite nice. Once you pull back the curtain you will find a management that is relentless to growth, and "to me" at pretty much any price. The culture is work or get fired. This environment pits people against people, breeds a serious lack of trust and in the end, saving peoples lives (and you will) matters much less then the paycheck. Lastly. I have had recruiters see working at Abiomed as a negative because of the aggressive culture that ultimately shows up with customer interfacing.

We are focused on recovering hearts and saving lives every day and bringing the most innovative lifesaving cardiac technology to patients. Our culture is centered around putting patients first in everything that we do. We want A-players that are primarily driven by a passion for the patient. We are sorry to hear that you feel as though your experience was one of mistrust and "pitting people against people."

That doesn't come without it's challenges, but we believe it is a journey worth taking. Thank you for your feedback. Sincerely, Abiomed HR
