NIBCO reviews

These reviews are true and the lack of professionalism by human resource department is completely dysfunctional. Managers with 20 plus have no say in who they hire/fire or select to be on their team... The hiring decisions are made by HR and graduate degrees are preferred (versus actual industry experience). Anyone familiar with new product development best practices realizes their stage/ gate process is completely dysfunctional. Upper management's long-standing theory that 'great ideas are HQ driven" and that (VOC) voice of the customer / field suggestions aren't worth a dime shows their business stupdity.

The lower / middle management is so scared of loosing their own jobs they are threatened by anyone with common sense. While they put on a good front it doesn’t take long to see this. It’s a real shame because the owner is a really nice man. There are some good people but the BS is bad enough to be very careful. Backstabbing and BS is the common place at this company.
