Natus-Medical-Incorporated

During my time at Natus Medical, I obtained personal satisfaction being part of a company whose overall mission is to improve patient lives and support a diverse medical device portfolio. I got stretch assignments across different areas that helped me develop as a professional, and our team is highly motivated with an emphasis on excellence. My team has a lot of flexibility to support work-life balance which I really appreciated.

The company is still developing toward the mature infrastructure and culture that you find at very large companies but has the right people with passion and motivation to get us there and provides a lot of professional development opportunities to help streamline best practices and procedure. 

The environment is very good for those who tend to be adaptable, self-starters who take ownership of projects and run with it. If you prefer a high amount of structure and day-to-day supervisory oversight, you may not enjoy it as much. 

Great place if you are looking for a chance to make meaningful change happen and really exciting to see how our products help people in their everyday lives. 



I worked here for almost 8 months. They were eager to be flexible around my military schedule. I enjoyed my coworker's company but the work environment was unreasonable. You are expected to be trained in every department with no extra pay advancement and move at a moment's notice. DO NOT WORK HERE AS A TEMP. You won't get any of the good benefits and they will most likely let you go before you can be hired on. A lot of workplace politics between management and supervisors. The warehouse is NOT the place to work here. I had only heard good things about working up in the offices. Warehouse employees were consistently overworked, expected mandatory overtime and weekends to the point of having 3 days off every third month for end of quarter, undervalued, never recognized no matter how hard you worked, and problems about a certain employee were never addressed. Management in the warehouse is good with making you feel like you aren't doing enough and never makes you feel competent in anything. Scrutinization is something that at least one employee in the warehouse feels every single day and all employees hear it. Oh but you can get free catered food every once in awhile and popcorn on wednesdays. Not exactly worth it. I left feeling bad for my fellow employees under the same leadership and continually keep in contact with them.

They make the older employees feel uncomfortable and vulnerable.  How?  By bringing up hurtful jokes in meetings about the people over 50 being able to remember things from WWII and also us needing hearing aids.  Other examples, too.  The Management does not communicate and I was ignored numerous times when trying to ask questions to help me better understand the new way of their restructuring and what was expected of me.  My third boss was not responding and I always felt like I was being set up to fail.  Then they laid me off and even though there were many jobs listed and second shifts being created I was not given an opportunity to apply.  HR said she looked and there wasn't anything for me.  I asked who else was being laid off but they would not tell me.  I have found out since that  others my age had been let go who had worked for the company for 30 years.  I worked hard and was dedicated only to have been discarded.  I am haven't found work yet with my skill set.  :-(

Natus grew exponentially through company/product line acquisition for many years. Unfortunately, they did NOT do a good job of integrating the new business and products, which lead to a lack of oversight, especially from a Regulatory perspective. Natus knows nothing of Manufacturing or true Product Development, which has further compounded their huge problems. Now, an initiative has been kicked off to attempt to steer away from the killer iceberg, but the decisions being made are ALL wrong. Creating functional resource pools to attempt to manage product lifecycle and new product development for a wide variety of unrelated products is not going to end well. People who truly understand the required processes know that dedicated product teams is the path to success. Natus senior management, however, is moving in the opposite direction. Indeed, I believe that they've already struck the fatal iceberg, and the ship is destined to sink into obscurity and ruin.

This Company has recently undergone an Organizational Change due to multiple issues with Engineering and Quality.  They have vamped up these areas to improve Eng Tractability and Quality Issues.  For the most part they are overcoming past issues and have hired a lot of good Employees that know what they are doing. I believe they are going in the right direction now.

On the other hand Management could use some work! I should have followed when the good ones left!   

The Culture there is very unprofessional and that is one of the hardest parts about working there beside the fact that there is not much room for advancement and there are no longer "team players". 

What I have learned with this company is what not to do! 

The best part of working for this company are my subordinates.

A typical day at work would be very busy, never a dull moment always something to do. I have learned how to organize and multitask different duties all in a days work. My co-workers were friendly and very helpful when I needed help, and in some cases I was able to return the help when they needed it. The hardest part of the job was keeping up with all the demands from various departments. (Finance Dept., Customer Service, part time Receptionist for the IT dept. and Front Office. The most enjoyable part of the job was Fridays. (Donuts and Bagels on Friday mornings :), a good day to wind down and finish the weeks duties.

The most hours a week I got was 13. Even the "full-time" employees could not even get 25 due to the number of babies needing screened. I would drive an hour to work to get less than 2 hours paid time. There is little to no communication from management. The nurses of the hospital do not respect you. You do not even have a key card to supply closets for things as small as sanitary wipes or gloves. Therefore we are told by our supervisor to "just take some out of empty rooms when needed". The oldest employee has only been there for 5 months. The work itself is rewarding, as you tend to babies, although you are only able to put the sensors on and leave. There is no educating work or skills to be learned. I do not recommend this job.

Wonderful experience with a top notch Medical company serving the needs of Newborns. Very advanced in their technology and pursuing even further breakthroughs to stay on top of their game. Great management & environment to learn about the complex world of Regulatory, FDA and Medical products & packaging.
Would love to work full time or even a longer contract with Natus! The Seattle & local neighborhood culture was ideal for artists & designers to thrive & enjoy--even lunch outings were an adventure! Georgetown for example: eclectic, avant garde, and endless variety of superb food- even a Glass Blowing school, with open door viewing!So much to see & do. Ideal workplace indeed!

I have been with natus for 2.5 years. It has been a great experience thus far. I have an amazing supervisor and a great team that I work with. After the pandemic hit, I was moved to working remotely and have felt extremely supported during this time. Especially when I had to work and also take care of my two young kids while they did remote learning for almost an entire school year. We have a fun and casual (yet professional) work atmosphere on our team and everyone is made to feel extremely important. Ideas from the team are encouraged and I feel a lot of support from upper leadership. I have growth opportunities and also have training opportunities to advance myself personally and professionally. 

I used to like it where I work, but it changed a lot over the years I have been there!! There is not enough good well job done in what I did or do!! They use to give out the proud and healthy shirt for your perfect attendance but they stopped that! We used to have outside of work activity, like Christmas parties, and knowing your employees! We still have special events like Thanksgiving dinner at work, not giving turkey's out to anybody anymore. And they do Santa Christmas which is consist of present for the kids and having a person from the job that cooks breakfast omelets for us! Sometimes we enough have a cook out!
