Good company..bad management - Engineer ABIOMED Employee Review

Certain departments clearly get more shine than others. It’s evident in the “town hall” meetings. Manufacturing and Quality Engineering seem to be left out of most congratulatory events and recognitions. Some managers are under qualified for their roles and it shows. Their teams suffer do to mismanagement, untrustworthiness and lack of engagement. There is a family style culture...but not in a good way. If you’re closer to someone at the top, you’re guaranteed an opportunity. Others are left at the bottom hoping for recognition for their long hours and hard work. Turnover..turnover...turnover. In a span of 3-6 months, the Quality department has vanished do to lack of job satisfaction. Managers are not taking engineers seriously during there 1:1 meetings. Be very careful what you communicate to Human Resources, at the end of the day they are looking out the better of the business and top management..not you unfortunately. Diversity. There is none at the management level. With these times of racial inequity, Abiomed needs to take a hard look at who are they promoting (that is qualified of course) and who they are hiring. Once you get up to C-level forget about it. You won’t see much diversity..sad to say it.
