Toxic and Getting Worse

Anonymous

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay. Interesting products. Claim that they want a high performance culture. However, management insists on forced ranking which encourages competition and undercutting each other.

Cons

People stretched doing work of 2-3 ppl due to policy of not replacing those who leave. Threat of layoffs due to the merger with Biomet. Constant hassle from project managers with unreasonable expectations for turnaround time given number of assignments. Upper management has not adjusted expectations of work output to the reduced size of workforce.

Pros

I like the support I get from my staff team and functional support teams. My peers are knowledgeable and easy to work with. The operating teams are open and receptive to change. A tremendous amount of experience and skill makes the amount of technology we use appear simple to apply to our processes. The company is investing in technology everywhere.

Cons

Some teams are ahead of others related to continuous improvement. The teams are all aligned to the same goals and metrics yet somewhat autonomous in the way they are managed to achieve goals.
