Positive Reviews From Intuitive Employees

  • What did you like most about the interview process?
    Lots of interviews, big bench of people
  • What makes you most happy at work?
    Helping patients and getting paid
  • What are some of the best things about your team?
    Good people, hard workers, friendly

Constructive Feedback From Intuitive Employees

  • What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
    Transparency, information sharing, efficient group discussions, alignment on goals, objectives, & commitments
  • What would you improve about your company's interview process?
    Improving for more inclusion and objectivity, yet not been fully embraced by teams - as evidenced by how broad swath of teams are predominantly less diverse. Emphasis on "culture add" rather than "culture fit" remains process. Framework to see how people of color are less valued to counter biases.
  • What needs to change to make the company culture better?
    Don't only hire by employee referrals. Rather than rely on big data (satisfy quantitative bias), which provide answers to "what" questions, leadership needs to embrace mixed methods (qualitative data) to address "how" and "why" questions. Incentivize projects initiated from service perspective.

  • Helping people get back to what matters most. Intuitive was founded in 1995 to create innovative, robotic-assisted systems that help empower doctors and hospitals to make surgery less invasive than an open approach. Since da Vinci® became one of the first robotic-assisted systems cleared by the FDA for general laparoscopic surgery, it’s taken robotic-assisted surgery from “science fiction” to reality. Working with doctors and hospitals, we’re continuing to develop new, minimally invasive surgical platforms and future diagnostic tools to help solve complex healthcare challenges around the world. Intuitive is a global technology leader in minimally invasive care and the pioneer of robotic-assisted surgery.
