Executive management and employees are constantly leaving the company to work for financially stable medtech companies. The financial climate of the company is dire. Half of the company are contractors, as the company cannot afford to pay appropriate salaries and benefits for permanent employees. Annual budgets are constantly decreasing as well as nothing new or innovative about the products. Majority of physcians refuse to use the product since their are too many complications during procedures and complaints from patients. The company will tell you that they are saving lives, but they are actually saving costs by producing products that are far less than satisfactory and cheaply manufactured. The sales management and team have not generated any money for the company for the past 4 years (due to physicians rejecting the use of all products). I have seen more than 35 executive staff leave the company within the last year and more the previous so there must be either another merger on the horizon to buy out company or this work environment is just p!ss poor as the good ol’ boy network that the runs this incredibly financially unstable and mismanaged company. I’m moving on to bigger and better opportunities, just in time before this ship sinks!

Turnover is extremely high, resulting in very little historical product and process knowledge. Employees are treated as a moveable resource headcount and moved around as needed by management, and because of this, there is no talent /career development. Toxic environment. There is no focus on developing a pleasant company culture. People are always blaming others and throwing departments/people under the bus. New comers keep joining and trying to revolutionize the way things are done, which results in a very unstable environment. Work load is very high and stressful. Processes and systems are cumbersome and designed for a large company with more resources, which prevents even small tasks from being accomplished quickly. Engineers are not empowered to think freely, problem solve, or lead projects. Very few things can be completed at the Engineering peer level. Everything has to be signed off by a Manager or above. Politics are a huge obstacle. Favoritism is rampant. Management tries to undermine other departments by refusing to approve or sign off on things until what they want done is accomplished. Operations is completely mismanaged with little / no concern for product quality. The concern is always cost over the patient. Priorities are constantly changing. Projects are not well-planned. The teams are constantly cutting corners to cut costs. Management is not transparent and does not properly communicate their vision (if any).
