May have to travel, support and sale. Meaningful upward movement and direction is lacking in some areas. Management may show favoritism and the company is profit driven. Great stepping stone.

Pros

Diversity in duties

Cons

Management may not be forthcoming or honest.

Quota Nightmares

Territory Manager (Former Employee) - San Francisco, CA - March 21, 2022

If you have one good year, prepare for them to raise your quota to something out of reach the next. The culture is really good here. The management needs to take care of their employees better

not much room for advancement

Acount Manager (Former Employee) - Lake Oswego, OR - April 30, 2021

Not much room for advancement with management. Long hours and work is demanded before you go home. Not much socializing. Bad lunch area. Hard to get the items needed to get your work done.

Truly care about the patient- The products are incredible

Clinical Specialist, Vascular and Coronary Intervention (Current Employee) - Portland, OR - February 20, 2020

I am not just drinking the Kool-Aid, the products are pioneering a new future. This company is not share holder owned, they do not have lobbyists like the “big box” companies. The patient outcome is what they strive for. But recently in 2020, with a new VP in sales, it has gotten pushy and we don’t want to lose integrity with our customers doing uncomfortable things “just to make a sale”. Sales quotas have been unattainable and compensation plans have been taken away. Emails with life changing information such as a change in compensation plan sent have been marked as “signed” in agreeance as soon as they are simply opened. The CRM side of the business gets favored and compensated much better, while the VI side has a lot more cold calling work and gets compensated less.

Cons

High sales quotas

Small Company with a good culture

Senior Sales Rep, EP Specialist/Senior Field Clinical Rep, Mentor (Former Employee) - Miami, FL - January 12, 2020

Small company with a good culture and good incentives. Downside is since they are a small company they face strong contract competition. They are a German company with a strong work ethic.

The technology that this company provides is outstanding, its too bad that the industry does not feel this way. If the competition spent as much on technology as they do on marketing they still wouldnt add up

Loved working here

CRA (Former Employee) - Lake Oswego, OR - March 20, 2019

I wake up every morning pumped to walk into work. The culture is unlike any company I've come to work for or interviewed for. . Upper management will help you focus on your next career steps, in setting up mentorships and having one-on-ones to meet your goals. Since I've started as an OSR (only about

The experience at Biotronik was pleasant

Executive Administrative Assistant (Former Employee) - Lake Oswego, OR - January 12, 2019

At Biotronik I got to work with a lot of people from all over the Portland area. These people brought with them a wealth of knowledge that they were willing to share. I enjoy learning from others.

Don't recommend working there

Manager (Former Employee) - Berlin - January 8, 2019

If you consider a job at BIOTRONIK, ask how long the person's job you're taking stayed there. Super high turnover. Very unhappy workers and bad morale.

Cons

Discrimination

Strong privately held company

Terrific Products

Pacing Sales Rep (Former Employee) - Nashville, TN - October 29, 2018

Great product portfolio. Challenging brand name within the U.S. Company's inclusion on the largest national contracts means little since many customers won't try the new products. This is due to the organization's lack of long-term committment, adherence and persistence to marketing strategies.

Pros

Freedom, Earnings Opportunity

Cons

Tarnished Brand Name

Horrible management

Data Center Administrator, Kelly Services (Former Employee) - Portland, OR - March 23, 2018

I experienced the worst manager of my entire career there. His main objective was to prove contract workers were incompetent. Never had a positive word and was constantly criticizing. I hated everyday I worked there.

Pros

Gained some skills.

Cons

Management. Culture. Support. Trust. Communication. Everything. Hated working there.

Not a bad place to work

Medical Device Sales Representative (Former Employee) - San Antonio, TX - January 2, 2018

Pros

Car allowance

Cons

Long hours.
