Pros

Absolutely none ! Absolutely none ! Absolutely none !

Cons

They treat their employees like slaves, even worse than they treat their customers, and that's saying something ! When they took over Covidien they managed to destroy a really good reputation in less than a year, with poor service and unqualified staff: they fired all the experienced ones, I'm a rare exception. They regularly dip their hand into my pay-packet for almost no reason, don't care about employment law or workers' rights. THIS IS DEFINITELY THE WORST EMPLOYER I HAVE HAD IN MY 35 YEAR CAREER !

Pros

The Global team are 100% US focused. 1 opportunity in the USA worth say $1M has priority over the Rest of the World with hundreds of opportunities worth 10’s of Millions. Don’t get me wrong, that’s great if you’re the US PM! Products launch years late, then suffer global recalls. Internal sweep stake: what will come first, the end of life letter or launch spec? Embarrassing to see a global benchmark of a brand fall from number one to the point of not meeting national tender specifications.

Cons

See Cons above! Expect managers who wouldn’t know how to do a sales call or an annual pay review above RPI even if your entire team over achieves.
