Smith+Nephew reviews

Poor management that never stands up for their employees Constantly changing priorities can never focus on a task to completion and then ask why it's not complete.

Overarching Culture has no sense of urgency or accountability resulting in all work being dumped on people and departments that already work significantly harder than everyone else. Lack of Teamwork between Departments is made worse by lack of clearly defined roles when multiple teams occupy the similar spaces. Constant, excessive turnover due to poor management (wild swings between no management to micromanaging every aspect) and overwork / stress results in unrealistic expectations for those who stick around / hire on. Complete lack of data-driven decision making. Decisions are made based on the emotions and whims of Managers rather than what is best for the company. Some Managers react to attempts to be more data-driven extremely poorly - including making accusations of fabricating data if it does not match what their baseless claim was. Some Operations Managers are extremely out of touch, outright toxic, and seemingly have no knowledge of the production areas they are responsible for. As an example, I witnessed one have to ask how to garb up to enter a cleanroom despite supposedly working at the company 5+ Years. This is a simple task that Operators perform multiple times a day. Most Operations Supervisors are a rare sight in production areas. Most Support Departments are a rare sight on Site. Support Departments that do not perpetually Work From Home have work dumped on them by Support Departments that never show up on Site.
