Needs to find its identity

Pros

You could say the cafeteria is good. Although it is pricy.

Cons

Lack of leadership, planning, strategy and knowledge within the corporate quality team is appalling. After working for multiple global companies during the last 25 years, I started working for Edwards last summer. Within three weeks realized I had made a mistake. Tried very hard to understand the new management style, organizations´ culture, expectation, goals, strategies, etc. What I found was a team that is reactive, just waiting for things to happen. A management that lacks the skills and knowledge to manage. A culture based on bickering and mistrust. I lasted about six months before submitting my resignation. I am working for another company, in the same industry, in a higher position with better benefits.

Pros

Decent benefits Campus Cafe Good place to get your feet wet and move on. Location is close to the freeway

Cons

Old school mentality Too much internal politics The management can't seem to handle or manage the sudden growth Good talent is unrecognized Old timers are just working towards retirement and don't seem to care much about new hires Be careful about which division you join. Stay AWAY from the HVT division.

Not for people with families

Pros

The benefits are good. If you grease your elbow with the manager your bonus will be good too.

Cons

Not a family friendly company. There's no concept of work life balance though they continue to act as if that's what they're implementing. You can be an average worker but get promoted if you're in the "inner circle" with the managers. They do not like people that do not have strong A type personalities. If you keep to yourself but do your job that doesn't matter. It only matters if you do 20% of the work but brag about it 80% of the time to management. It's very performative. Not sure about other BUs but this is specific to TMTT. R&D is manority of folks from one country so they look down on anybody coming from a different country. People keep giving negative feedback about employees but nothing is done to encourage improvement. Horrible micro managing bosses drive ppl to leave but nothing is done to them despite multiple complaints from ppl. There is no team effort. It's a everyone for themselves kind of atmosphere. So ppl step on each other's toes to prove that they're the best of the best instead of a team environment. Overall, horrible.
