Leica Microsystems reviews

Metrics driven new managers who know nothing about the life-science products being sold in labs Completely unrealistic sales quotas/goals that have no connection to what is going on in the real world Too many broken processes/procedures/kaizens to mention; its amazing someone turns on the lights each day Communication with ALL management is one way; just shut-up and sell is the message which trickles down Management doesn't want to hear about your challenges, what customers say, product problems, service issues If you work here, count on base salary and 3% commission; management will promise bonuses but you won't get them Company pride, morale and employee motivation are at an all time LOW in my 5+ years of employment Bean counters at several management levels are concerned with their pocketbooks and not your pocketbook IMO: My manager (and managers above) would steal salary/commission/bonus from me to enhance their bottom line Don't count on any work-life balance at Leica; you are replaceable is the message; and with the help of Leica HR, you will conform or WE WILL FIND A WAY TO GET RID OF YOU (including discrimination) All Leica managers (right up into the new president's office) are Workplace Bullies Re-read ALL of the above BEFORE you consider working at this HELL HOLE

Too many complicated process takes years to know them all. Alot of documentation prepared just for audit.. very lean business even dinner and dance is eliminated.
