Pros

Company is run by brilliant and ethical executives, including a best-in-class CEO. Their passion for the mission is infectious. Cash compensation is average, but generous stock rewards tilt overall compensation to a strength. There always seem to be new and different career opportunities, and the company actively supports cross-department rotations/moves. Amazing, innovative technology will keep these coming for decades. I have never been around a brighter, more capable group of employees.

Cons

As the company has grown, a certain tribalism has emerged where particular groups desperately pursue influence, control, and adulation concerning certain projects. It has been sad to watch this type of toxic dynamic leak into what has been (and still mostly is) an "all hands on deck/who cares who gets the credit" culture. Unless you're part of the project "du jour", teams are almost always under-resourced, and it can be frustrating to have so many high-value projects parked indefinitely. Some mid-level managers are obsessed with output and are ignorant and/or apathetic to the intimidating culture that posture creates and the physical and emotional toll it can take on the people doing the work. Many younger employees do not feel they have a voice (or one they can safely use).

Pros

The da Vinci is a powerful robotics platform and still unmatched by just about everything else in the market. With the product that great comes the experience and access to work with healthcare professionals and hospital systems at a level that is extremely valuable for a long career Medical Device. Also, the value you provide in the technical experience, the training pathway and the Surgeon learning curve to autonomy and the feeling of growing production is great when all the pieces fall into place.

Cons

If you're in an area that has good runway and they just need hands on deck with a supportive manager it's pretty straightforward career progression. However, there's a lot of territories that have been sold into a corner of sorts and because of the specific targets that absolutely need to be sold the management has gotten extremely picky and will specifically target reps from orgs such as JnJ, Applied and Medtronic to come in and flip the remaining surgeons that they've already been selling to.
