Cytiva Reviews

Worklife balance is awful, headcount is not backfilled and responsibilities are pushed to others with no rewards. There is limited opportunity and people often get promoted without jobs being advertised, it's very dependent on who you know and speak to rather than fair opportunity. Danaher is mandating a return to the office 5 days a week and gated access is now in most buildings to monitor the time employees spend there. CEO Chris Riley directed we focus on employing people on site rather than the right candidate for the role. It's been publicity communicated that those working remotely and those with caring roles have made "career limiting choices". Meetings often end with sniping and shouting as in pressure builds. Planning meetings have left many employees in tears, several members of staff have been on long term sick leave due to stress levels. Processes are very beurocratic and slow. Annual review ratings are pushed down to reduce bonuses, so individual performance is not rewarded. It's the worst example of gaslighting, where the company tells you they care about your mental health, diversity, sustainability etc but everything they put in place seems to work against what is said.

Arrogant, authoritative and bias leadership. Highly political and Buddy buddy system for promotions, raises and head count approvals. Product management is a decade behind, digital solutions don’t work, web is over engineered, marketing cannot finish any presentation on time, sales territories are unfairly set, supply chain underestimating stocks, parts often late, brand team self serving and killing powerful and recognized brand names from acquired companies, DEI is a checkbox, sustainability’s impact is overinflated, HR encouraging to manage with fear tactics and retaliation, customer service processing at a slowest pace. Everyone is selling everything everywhere and making promises to customers that cannot be met. Highly matrixed since merger which created a mess. Even customers are calling it as such. We spend too much time on reinventing processes rather than using common sense to move things along. Leaders expectations are killing job satisfaction and fulfillment. It’s a sweat shop. Bad culture. Wondering who put 5 star rating, I have to find these folks. Maybe they are in HR or comms.
