    The medical technology company, which has been growing quickly thanks in part to several acquisitions, has made a big commitment to volunteerism and sustainability. Selected employees can volunteer for 40 hours annually through Operation Smile. For every used, program-approved medical device hospitals have returned, the company has donated and planted a tree (20,000 and counting!). “We aren’t afraid to tackle big-ticket items and projects that are out of our comfort zone,” says one employee. “The culture here tends to be motivated by the unknown and complex.” Read the Great Place to Work review.
