Terrible Culture

Business Outlook

Pros

The company had impressive perks, including a beautiful cafeteria and atrium for large group meetings. There was never an issue about spending money on travel or anything else. Salary and benefit packages were very generous.

Cons

Systems were horrible at best. No two software systems worked together and none were intuitive. The same applied to procedures. Management attitude was to work evenings and weekends to compensate for the horrible systems rather than do anything at all to address them. Management culture was hyper-political, cut-throat and including many inexperienced managers who micromanaged as a reaction to intense pressure from higher-ups.

Edwards Lifesciences Response

Premium Product - Poor Professional Development

Business Outlook

Pros

Edwards has the best Transcatheter Heart Valve products and deep product pipeline.

Cons

There’s no professional development in this division and part of the reason for that is that management does not have the time or desire to develop the talent they currently have. When positions become available they commonly seek from outside the company vs. promoting from within.
