That's the way we have always done it - Anonymous employee Edwards Lifesciences Employee Review

In manufacturing, no work life balance. Relentless overtime due to refusal to staff appropriately. Work EVERY holiday in maintenance. Zero process improvement, with the largest engineering group at it's access I have seen in my career. Lack of serious cGMP experience throughout the operation, "this is the way we have always done it". They have very experienced technicians to aid them in all areas, including new equipment purchases and Process Improvement, their arrogance will not allow then to utilize those resources. Serious lack of direction, ability to improve and move forward. All the resources any company would want, but completely unable to utilize any of them. Mandatory Annual Physical, if you decline, your medical benefits cost 4 times higher, a complete invasion of privacy. More managers on one campus than anyone thought possible, completely political environment.
