Pros

Company is doing really well as a result of great products and during your interview everything will likely seem amazing and promising. For my interview there was a diverse panel put in place, but once I was there I quickly realized it is not diverse at all.

Cons

Lack of diversity (sales force is predominantly white males, as our the leaders at the top of most functions). Marketing doesn’t actually matter, sales runs the show. Leadership consists of tenured people who have mostly never worked anywhere else and will never do anything different. If you can’t play the game then this isn’t the place for you. Also work life balance sucks. Travel pre-Covid was heavy and you would never get time back from being gone on weekends.

Pros

The individual contributors you work with are fantastic people and the products we work on are really interesting and have significant impacts on patient care.

Cons

Sports Medicine has unfortunately changed from a dynamic and collaborative group to one being led by toxic leadership. Rather than working together and trusting team members, they now have an in group and out group. If you’re in the in group, you can say anything you want without being questioned and be automatically trusted even when your track record says otherwise. If you’re in the out group and your message doesn’t align with what the leadership wants to hear, then you are automatically wrong and not to be trusted.
