Pros

Once you work at Ottobock, almost any other employer will be a breath of fresh air! If you are looking for a start-up enviornment in the medical device industy, this might be what you are looking for.

Cons

1. Uncertain job security and communication that makes employees feel they "are just lucky to have a job", when Austin is one of the most well-paid thriving job markets in the country. 2. Lack of investment in technology and employee feedback. 3. Low pay and no career path that is not made with ultimatim/ cut-throat efforts. 4. Slow-paced envionment, although it seems the contrary while working there. 5. Lack of courage- Rumors are used instead of direct communication.

Pros

Mission-oriented culture, Excellent leadership in North America and many quality employees that continue to strive for better and better. Modernization efforts are recognized and prioritized with many initiatives underway. If you perform well, recognition and career mobility follows.

Cons

Hard to drive change at times with certain team members. Clean data and systems can be an issue that requires manual efforts, but change is underway. IT processes can be hard to understand and time-consuming.
