Highly situational experience

Pros

Experience was very valuable, managers were generally good, company is well respected.

Cons

Each plant is essentially it's own company. Culture from company at-large has little to no bearing over day-to-day life in the plant. Company tries to improve and innovate, but is so large that it mostly stagnates.

Pros

Great coworkers, great benefits package, flexible, remote work options.

Cons

Healthcare leadership in the US is only focused on acquisition employees, structure does not allow for success. Employees are not empowered to make decisions. Too many micromanagers that do not trust employees or other departments to perform their assigned roles

Poor leadership and no sense of urgency

Anonymous employee

Pros

Good employee benefits and flexi-work arrangement during the pandemic. Some BU leaders are very professionals but such professionalism is not common across entire company or department. Really depends on your luck which BU you are with and the kind of leadership you experience.

Cons

Leadership lacks good B2B marketing sense and transparency. Do not take feedback seriously and view them as complaints. Not supportive and condone lacklustre performance which demoralizes good employees.
