Pros

The IC's and middle management work hard and are great people. Quite frankly, they are too good for this "organization".

Cons

Goals constantly shift and they are usually unattainable and they know it. They set them anyway to appease investors and then eliminate people when they inevitably miss. They move goals around so frequently, they forget they did it. Certain members of the C-suite will openly verbally abuse, bully, berate and belittle people in open forums. They are extremely and unnecessarily top-heavy with obvious redundancy. This is largely due to the cliques or "favorites" clubs that are established by certain members of the C-suite. Obviously the clique members are the only ones exempt from the wrath and abuse from the leaders. These same leaders make knee-jerk, non-data driven decisions without considering the consequences of those decisions. The leaders create a culture of fear leaving the IC's feeling like they constantly have to look over their shoulders.

Thank you for sharing your honest feedback. Commission letters containing goals for our sales teams were distributed in January for the 2023 year. We have not changed these terms unless one of our team members has had a role change. If this is untrue for your situation, please reach out to me so that I can investigate this further. Fictiv does subscribe to an agile and experimental mindset, so while the goals have stayed intact, the priorities and ways we achieve these goals may change to meet the needs of our customers and ever-changing market landscape. At Fictiv we have worked hard to build a safe culture based on compassion (one of our core behaviors), transparency and trust. It is disheartening to hear that this has not been your experience. I ask that you please reach out to me directly if you feel that you were ever treated poorly by any member of the Fictiv team. Unprofessional conduct of any nature that is witnessed, shared, or reported is taken very seriously and investigated by our trained PeopleOps professionals. We have several different systems that we use to collect constant employee feedback from our Fictors, including anonymous employee engagement surveys in some of our regions. Thank you for sharing that you find this method to be the most effective. As a current Fictor, I encourage you to please reach out to me directly so that we can talk in more detail about your feedback and overall experience at Fictiv. Though hard to hear, I appreciate your honesty. Thank you again. Sr. Director, People

Pros

Really enjoyed working with the manufacturing team here. It was a great metrology shop, but the work turned dull when we went remote due to covid. Many of the people left are really great, but it was the in person culture that was really amazing.

Cons

I quit out of boredom after two years remote. Just moving documents around alone in a room. Not their fault but they're still remote so you gotta really love remote office work.

We are constantly adapting and examining where we can do better. If you have an additional feedback on how we can improve I would love to connect to learn more. Thank you again. Sr. Director, People

Thank you for your feedback. I'm glad that you are enjoying the culture and the people at Fictiv. We appreciate your transparency around the challenge keeping up with change. It is a very exciting time at Fictiv as we globalize but as you mentioned this does come with a good amount of change. We have recently invested in hiring a Director of Change Management to help guide on this journey together. In addition, our leadership team meets monthly to review learnings and areas to improve as a go forward. Our People Operations team is working on more frequent engagement surveys so that we can hear from our Fictors. We are committed as an organization to set the bar. Thank you so much for your trust and for being a Fictor! Sr. Director, PeopleOperations
