Too much informal culture

Business Outlook

Pros

Good company if you are into medical systems

Cons

Informal culture. No explicit expectations. You are supposed to go and ask for work. People above 50 years settled in various positions and now allowing new comers to settle. I dont' see any recent joiners (who joined 2 to 15 years ago) in my BU in Netherlands. All are oldies who worked on the same product from the last 15+ years. Once you get into the system, they expect you to work on par with them as they do not share their knowledge. Any new concepts are discussed among themselves and closed without your knowledge. All this misalignment reflects everywhere and make the place like hell.
