Vantaggi
Medacta is a rapidly growing, privately funded Orthopaedic implant company focused on Surgeon and Representative education. A large portion of their earnings goes right back into an education program that is unlike other companies. They have done a good job of maintaining their "small company" feel, while growing very rapidly, both in the US and overseas.
Svantaggi
Medacta is micromanaged to the point of loss of cases. This has improved over time, but most steps, even fairly basic ones, require authorization and approval from the headquarters in Europe. While this is done to ensure quality, it can cause serious delays in delivering products to their customers. The US portion of the company has an amazingly high turn-over rate. In the just under 5 years I was there, we went through 4 CEOs, and I personally had 5 different bosses. Most of these were let go, and the rest quit for other opportunities. This creates a very stressful environment, and it became a running joke that the monthly staff meetings were "who's getting fired this month" meetings.
