The company is definitely focused on its mission to improve the lives of patients through innovative medical products. The work-life balance is manageable across most functions and the compensation is competitive.
Cons
The entire organization is a maze of direct and dotted line VP's. Whether you work in US or OUS, you have a GM, Functional VP, and Country VP to satisfy. This structure leads to a large amount of conflicting requests.

Generous, old-school benefits. Almost twice the PTO as other places I've worked, excellent healthcare, 401K matching, etc. Many high-quality colleagues and a generally mellow, polite business culture.
Cons
Multiple competing bureaucracies, internal consultancies, a computer-illiterate 'stakeholder' class with permission to disrupt anything, and perverse incentives driving waste.
