Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Outset Medical presents a mixed ethical record. Executive compensation is a concern: the CEO's pay reportedly rose 57% in 2023, creating a 39:1 ratio to median worker pay, allegedly declining. 49% of shareholders voted against these packages. Employee reviews are generally positive (3.8/5), yet work-life balance, management issues, and no 401k company contribution are noted. Positively, the Tablo Hemodialysis System aims to expand home dialysis access in rural areas, backed by a CMS innovation payment, though its cost is an accessibility consideration. Transparency on fair trade, environmental impact, and data security remains limited.
