Take what I'm about to say with a grain of salt. A couple years back I interviewed with Intuitive for a CSR position and turned down the offer. Here's why: During the interview process I spoke with 3 ISG reps across the country and all were bright, professional, and objective with their feedback. Time management seemed to be one of the most difficult aspects of their jobs. More specifically, they had very little time for family or even themselves outside of work. It seemed Saturdays were their only days of the week not impacted by work in some way. In the end, I guess it all depends on what works best for you. Talk to a few reps and see what you find out. Good luck.

It takes a special type of person to cut it here. Some have it. Some don't. If you have doubts then seek other opportunities. Not trying to sound like a jerk just being honest.

I do agree that it does take a special type of person to cut it there but by no means does that mean it takes someone exceptional. No person that I have come across that worked for them would I consider exceptional. As an director now that hires for positions in women's health all over the country I can tell you that I have passed on multiple people that worked for Intuitive because they simply were not very good. They did not even make it past the first round. Sure there are some quality people there but a high % of the people that I have met from that company (managers included) I have not been impressed with.
 






By special type of person, they mean a person that put money as the top priority in their lives.

To me, that is an idiot.

Lots of idiots in the corporate world, in case you have not noticed. They live stressful lives, with big mortgages, and jerks for wives, and brat children.

Go for it, if that is what you want. But, if you are smart, you won't fall for that game.

^^ Nailed it. Totally agree. My manager pushed me to buy a nicer car than I needed, wear more expensive suits (cufflinks required), and be available for late, early, and weekend conf calls to discuss the business. All in the name of money.

If that is a Special kind of person, which I am OK with, suggest you explore opportunities outside of medicine; suggest finance, technology, etc. Medicine is different. That said, I am not one of those "I save lives everyday" reps. I just think this market is better served by reps whose life balance and general perspective is not clouded by the over pursuit of money and wealth. That stuff will come.

Has the culture changed? Can't say. I left here a few years ago. They do continue to burn out talent in less than 2yrs and have many openings which they hire sub par people for. That tells me no.
