How are the career development opportunities at Intuitive?

Working at Intuitive offers an incredible opportunity to stablish as a professional while contributing to a company renowned for its innovation and positive impact on healthcare.

While working at Intuitive provides a secure and stable environment, I have found that the opportunities for career development and advancement can sometimes feel limited.

Great Culture, Great peers, Great product.

No defined career growth or promotions even though you are an outstanding performer. Internal politics and top management are biased,

The company culture is supportive and collaborative. Mission is clear and employees are generally proud to be part of Intuitive. Since the company is still growing, there are a lot of opportunities, including technical and non-technical aspects such as career growth and self development.

Engineering driven so cross functional collaboration and resource allocation can some times be challenging.

Excellent associates to work with Great management that mentors you and assists in your career advancement You feel like a very valued employee making valued contributions

I dont have many cons. Only one I could think of is that the job can become stressful at times, but what job doesnt?

Most people I've worked with at Intuitive truly believe in the mission and the goals of the organization. It's something that isn't just talked about. The pay has been quite good, and the stock is great.

Intuitive has grown rapidly in the past several years and seems as though it will continue that way. That has come with significant growing pains. Getting work done is sometimes the hardest part of the job. Process looks clean on paper, but is extremely messy in practice. Much of middle management are brand new to the organization and in some teams/departments that makes it much harder to onboard new employees. Experiences will vary wildly depending on the department that you work for. Work/life balance is a challenge. Late meetings are commonplace, as is reaching out to employees on PTO, and being asked to work remotely during PTO. Returning from a short vacation to a mountain of work is also recurring experience. Teams are lean with little redundancy. As good as the pay is, the opportunities for career development and promotion seem to be limited. A documented year of high-performance and meeting all goals doesn't mean a good increase in salary will follow.

They sure know how to gaslight you through your training and at conferences on how great it is to work for them. They dangle a banana in front of your face of a competitive package you can get AFTER a tenured period of time that requires you to do others jobs just to have SOME recognition, but never to promote you.

This company totes how advanced they are and inclusive, but has exhibited time and time again that they do not genuinely care about their employees. From hiring and firing diversity hires, mismanagement of time and respect of surgeons in the OR, and the unorganized growth and development for new employees is incredibly lacking compared to other large companies. On top of this, the pay range is behind on times and the benefits package is subpar to working at a fast food chain. This company has the ability to be greater and better but instead exploits their people for leaderships personal gain. Interacting with some leadership, you can see that there are some moral gaps and cover ups. The worst part about all that I’ve said is that there is a receipt for every single grievance and yet the company will prioritize lies, covering for their own, and finding ways to terminate anyone who is not a white male or female. Do not recommend ever working for this company — which will soon be out competed by more robust and modern technologies soon. It’s unfortunate the mediocrity of those that are in leadership positions & you wonder how they got there.

Good environment and lots of opportunities to grow

Nothing much to talk about

During my years at Intuitive, I have found multitude of pros that make it an exceptional workplace. For a start - I feel grateful to be a part of the purpose to improve patient care by innovating ways to minimize surgical invasion and helping with fast recovery. Keeping team sizes small and agile helps make decisions faster. The teams thrive on collaboration and there are abundant opportunities for career growth, bolstered by access to appropriate training sessions and clear pathway for advancement. Overall, a strong company culture rooted in collaboration, innovation and creating a fulfilling work environment.

If I had to nitpick, cafe offerings are average and the need to drive to the main cafe for some variety can be a bit inconvenient.
