Fortune Brands Innovations reviews

Literally everything else. Cannot put into words how terrible leadership is. This company is a classic example of overreliance on consulting firms instead of relying on your long time employees-- none of whom are there anymore because of their "move to Chicago or resign" mandate which was just undercover layoffs. Truly terrible and toxic culture. No one knows what they are doing anymore because of the constant change and upheaval. Used to love my job there but it's now just budget cuts and backstabbing chaos. I developed job stress-related health issues I will have the rest of the life during the tenure here. Even if the pay and benefits seem decent, it's not worth it.

If you’ve seen the new “Must Be a Moen” campaign from Fortune Brands Innovations / Moen, you might think it’s about quality, innovation, or pride in craftsmanship. Internally, it feels more like a running joke to explain away dysfunction. Confusing org structures? Must be a Moen. Constant leadership changes? Must be a Moen. Roles that look nothing like what you were hired to do? Must be a Moen. The gap between external branding and internal reality is… impressive. Strategy is talked about a lot, but execution devolves into hyper-tactical, low-value work with little alignment or clear ownership. Priorities shift frequently, often driven by whoever has the loudest voice in the room that week. Cross-functional collaboration is more theoretical than real—teams operate in silos, and decision-making lacks transparency. Instead of empowering experienced hires, there’s a tendency toward over-management and unnecessary process, slowing down even basic progress. To be fair, there are smart, hardworking people here—but many are stuck navigating a system that makes it difficult to do meaningful, impactful work. If you’re looking for a place where branding and reality align, this may not be it. But if you ever find yourself wondering “how did things get this way?”… well, I guess the answer is: must be a Moen.
