Covidien reviews

Too much tension, not enough people to do all the work, lack of support.

All work and no play at this company. Will spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on upgrading conference rooms for executives but we can't buy copy paper and pens at the site level. No room for growth - they don't promote from within because they don't groom you for advancement. Won't fill open slots because its a cost savings but continue to heap projects on already overloaded staff. Moving medical devices out of country to low cost production sites to increase margins and know it lowers quality. Every time something happens it's a HR witch hunt to find someone to blame at local levels instead of acknowledging that Executive leadership has done nothing but set company up for failure by not staffing appropriately and focusing too much on cost savings. No loyalty to employees HR is extremely anti employee, don't trust any of them...watch your back and what you say. When market gets better expect everyone to start looking if they aren't already. Doesn't matter what location or department you work for, the culture is the same everywhere because it starts at the top.
