Verathon reviews

Was told it was a hybrid position and very quickly realised that this was not the case - first red flag. Poorest culture I’ve worked in so far in my career. Very strong divide between ‘upstairs/downstairs’ - in other words the engineers and production staff. If you didn’t have an engineer title, you were looked down on. Coming from a company where operators were treated with the utmost respect and had a strong voice, I was very uncomfortable with the way engineers talked about and treated them in Verathon. Even if they don’t hold the same title as you shouldn’t mean that you treat them any differently. I felt sad for some production staff who were clearly intimidated by me once I told them my title, Also a strong divide between those who worked there for years and newer staff. I was constantly reminded about people’s long tenure in the company as if they needed praise. Those people were very unwelcoming to new staff and failed to make me feel comfortable when I tried to settle into my new role. I often heard them referring to people who had been there a year or more as the ‘new engineer in the _ team’. Systems can be backwards, particularly the QMS. Lack of personal responsibility when it comes to documentation because everyone knows there’s one or two people in doc control that will fix all their errors and spelling mistakes. Severe lack of team work and collaboration. Extremely quiet office. No office chats. Felt like you were being watched by everyone in the office.

Every single box that is ticked with a Professional Company is not with Verathon
