Intuitive Surgical Employee

"I've worked at Intuitive for almost 2 years. They treat their engineers very well. There is a very open environment as represented by the CEO of the company running the quarterly employee meetings and appearing at other division meetings as well. The only negative is the amount of documentation required for relatively simple engineering changes."
