Pros

Wish I could enumerate some examples!

Cons

When we tell people to do their jobs, we get workers, when we trust people to get the job done, we get leaders! So, if you want to be a worker, being disgraced and underappreciated, Verathon is the place to be. You don’t get any room for personal talent development and there is a huge lack of trust – in fact there is no trust at all. Micromanagement is their ultimate controlling management style. It’s demoralizing and counter-intuitive and the desire for control to make sure everything goes to plan only creates more problems within the company. You’ll never end up as a leader in this company, because there is one, so called CEO , who rules and persecutes his workers and assesses performances based on hearings. Furthermore, Management feels that they’re able to breakdown law in Europe and is not capable (or willing) to get an empathetic understanding of the European business. If one executes their job as commanded by the CEO, you might be safe. HR in Amsterdam and the US is the biggest joke ever and very untrustworthy. I’m trying to think about anything nice to say. Oh, yeah about the nice people, but they’ll all have been fired (or left the company) because the CEO didn’t like them, despite the fact they delivered great results (met the targets) and have been overachieving. The office building in Amsterdam is an atrocious catastrophe, in the winter people need to keep themselves warm by wearing extra blankets and mobile gas heaters whilst management is sitting in their offices with controlled heater/air-conditioned facilities.
