Inspect medical implants and devices in accordance with quality system documents and FDA requirements. Perform various testing to accept implants for form, fit, and function. Learned how to use many measuring devices as well as the chemistry behind the implants. Also got more experience using word, excel, and powerpoint. Management is good, they are pretty flexible and leniant. Mostly concerned with production throughput rather than micromanaging. Willing to let people work independantly. Was able to go to school during the day and work at nights. Hardest part of the job is writing procedures, NCMR's, CAPA's and MRB's, or even understanding some chemistry of the ceramics. Co-workers with a good understanding of these have been helpful. Most enjoyable part of the job is the flexibility, the people I work with, and the ability to work independantly. Learned a lot about Lean, 5S, Six Sigma.

They fail every category. I was underpaid and overworked (no work-life balance), management never knew what they were doing, and the company had this scammy feel to it. Every time their stock goes below a dollar, they do a reverse stock split to stay listed on the NASDAQ. They survive year after year due to investors thinking "Wow! This stock is so low, it must be undervalued, and it can't possibly go any lower..." But it does, it does always go lower. There is never any return on investment. They are leeches who post as many positive press releases as possible to get suckers to invest. True story: they actually sold a bunch of parts for less than it cost them to make. They did this solely so they could do a press release and make it seem like they are doing well. They're not doing well. They are a bubble that is ready to POP. It's not a matter of if but when.

A small company with a real team atmosphere but lacking a well defined mission. This has changed with the recent new management. The transition to the new mission is the challenge.

During my tenure the company was able to significantly grow its core business. As in any small company it can be a roller coaster ride. This can both be challenging and very professionally rewarding. I took it as a real reward, for you get exposed to issues that you would never hear about in a large company. It was a delightful and a full-filling experience.

The job itself is not to bad everyone seems to like where they are at. I was not trained very well but I learned a lot while employed there. Management was kind of clue-less of day to day operations until something bad happens or a department was buried and they had a deadline then they get involved. They try not to Micro manage which is good but sometimes it felt like they were so out of the loop you could not go to them for assistance or even suggest improvements. Also, the managers out numbers the workers 2 to 1. Overall it was a good place to work I think management needs a overhaul on how they operate but other than that I would go back.

I truly enjoy working here and hope to continue.  I have worked under two managers now and the first was a micro-manager to say the least, but I really like my new boss.  The employees are great to work with and the atmosphere is nothing but friendly and helpful.

The only problem is they have a lot of ups and downs and lay off when things are slow. They are an investor fueled research company. When they have investors they are fine but when investors pull out they start laying off. This has happened multiple times over the last 10 years. Everything else about working for amedica was as good as it gets.

Work consisted of medical devices of very high detail. The only difficulty with working for this company was its permanent use of temporary employees to avoid any benefit cost.

You’re only as successful as your weakest link. Amedica is living proof that a company can survive despite poor Executive management. Culture is toxic. Board members are incompetent and CEO is absent (still running a practice out of St. Louis).

Great product. Useless, absent CEO who is only collecting a salary to recoup his investment losses. He is never in the office. The executive team cannot stop the hemorrhaging of cash and declining revenues. They are clueless as to why the product is not selling.

I have spent many years trying to find the ideal location for work. Amedica was everything I ever wanted in a company, except for job security. If given the chance to be a full time employee of Amedica,I could retire happily from here and never work another place.
