Pros

Diverse product line. One of the few hopes for people with epilepsy that doesn't respond to drugs or other treatments. Many good, dedicated, expert people.

Cons

Since the merger, the Neuromodulation Division (formerly Cyberonics) management has become a horror show. Had to leave to preserve my reputation and sanity. I'm not the only one to make this move.

Pros

I think leadership puts a lot of thought into strategy, including the new human imperatives. They're having the right discussions and gathering employee insights. The culture is good and getting better from where i sit (but there is a lot of variability on experiences based on location culture) and I haven't met very many 'weak links' - people are smart and they work hard. Most people really, sincerely care about helping patients.

Cons

The size of the company means career pathing will just be limited. You really have to take control of your path and forge it- you can't wait for the organization to bubble up opportunities for you in a way that may be possible at larger organizations.
