Masimo

Pros: It's a big player in the medical technology space, so that gives some comfort. There's usually a decent workload, so you don't feel like your role is pointless. Working in the Irvine, CA office, you get pretty good benefits, which helps.
Cons: As a Software Engineer, projects shift pretty often, and sometimes teams get reorganized. I've seen some layoffs, so job security isn't guaranteed, especially if a product line isn't doing great. It doesn't always feel like a super stable 'forever' kind of place.
Advice to Management: Focus on clearer communication regarding long-term project stability and future plans to ease employee concerns about job security.

Pros: As a Software Engineer here, the base salary was pretty decent for medical technology. I got some RSUs too, which was a nice perk for a while. The pay isn't bad for the Irvine, CA area.
Cons: But the health insurance costs are pretty high, especially for families. The 401k match is just okay, nothing special like big tech firms. I felt the overall compensation package could be much stronger.
Advice to Management: Take a serious look at the employee benefits package. High healthcare costs are a real deterrent for many, especially when trying to compete for top engineering talent.

Pros: The team I worked with was solid. There's a real sense of mission working on patient monitoring technology, which is cool. Decent benefits and you feel like you're doing something important in health tech.
Cons: The culture can feel a bit old-school sometimes. There's a lot of micromanagement, which really bogs down innovation, especially for Software Engineer roles. Work-life balance can get tough due to tight deadlines, and the hybrid model isn't always consistent.
Advice to Management: Focus on empowering teams and less on micromanagement. Update some of the corporate processes to allow more agile development for tech roles. Really listen to feedback on work-life balance from the Irvine office.
