But the company\u2019s average employee\u2019s pay was still down compared to $127,948 in 2022 as the company ramped up manufacturing operations<\/a>.<\/p>\n The latest median employee pay figure put Intuitive\u2019s CEO pay at 147 times more than its median employee\u2019s pay in 2025. That pay gap narrowed from 153:1 the year before, but was still up compared to 111:1 in 2023 and 81:1 in 2022.<\/p>\n The company said it included all global employees as of the end of 2024, but did not identify the median employee by location or job title. At other medtech companies that offer more details about their median workers than required by the SEC pay disclosure rules, those median medtech workers often hold technical roles such as device design or engineering.<\/p>\n![\"A](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/gary-guthart-intuitive-300x195.jpg\")
