Momentive Performance Materials reviews

Volatile business field with strong competition and overcapacity worldwide. Financial vulnerable, spending is short. Company is still in the middle of a restructuring turmoil, trying to come up with a unified culture. Legacy GE heritage still strong in many sites.

- too many people pretending to work but lip services more than real result - too many re-org in a short time, all employees are looking for opportunity outside - company culture has too much bad influence from GE - almost all senior management are finance guys, no one really knows silicone industry and doesn't care about the industry development at all - dragging too long in switching from regional focus to SBU focus...however the transition is a total failure! Both powers are still fighting that make the front-line people completely exhausted - 100% financial driven...never care about product leadership, service excellency and customer intimacy! - management only use never-ending meetings, reviews and computer systems to manage the employees so that smart employees only use spreadsheets, charts, powerpoints and bluffing speech to keep their job - management have blind faith on numbers and metrics but never have an integrated picture and understanding of the whole business. ..well, in fact, it is common for all USA MBA - morale, ethics, discipline and atmosphere are horrible in the work place...no mutual trust between management and employees at all... - although there are so many check-and-balance in the operating system, integrity issue is serious in MPM because employees feel no future in this company
