How’s intuitive?

Pretty hard to find info about intuitive surgical. How’s the culture, the interviews, comp etc?

Intuitive Surgical Vater Mar 19, 2021

Oh the famous cruella is interested in us, what an honor! Culture seems to vary a lot , but it's probably closer to a traditional corporate than most of the famous tech names you can think of. Interviews aren't hard technically. Comp? If you are a TC chaser you probably don't want to come, but WLB can be good for many, so I guess pay per hour is quite good. But you know, WLB highly depends on team and projects and time of the year.

What are compensation ranges for L4 and L5?

Intuitive Surgical Vater Apr 5, 2021

See L5 below, L4 is probably between 150k and 200k after refreshers

I find comp not too bad for senior levels compared to FANG. I recently joined as an L5 after some negotiating from initially targeted L4. L5 TC: 80k signing + 175k base + 160k stock over 4 years + 20% bonus per year The stocks were a lot lower than I thought but seems like it was due to the comp restructuring
