Toxic and arrogant place

Pros

Nice cafeteria, some people are nice. The others will step over you and take your ideas to get ahead

Cons

Someone recently shared how much micromanagement goes on here. As a marketing leader who is told that you “own” your products,” in reality you are told exactly what to do even if you don’t agree with the strategy. R&D and design think they know the lab customers when in reality they made a total of 2 visits to a hospital, and have the arrogance to make final decisions in project meetings. Upper management shows up to reviews beating their chests with ridiculous demands and stupid questions that derail project progress. The toxicity and arrogance in Flakes nj has been going on for decades. The smart people leave and some get let go because upper mgt feels threatened by their knowledge. Do yourself a favor and don’t “get in the bus” here

Pros

Avoid at all costs, no pros

Cons

Totally shocked, management have zero experience, in breach of numerous employment laws. In 20 years in this industry I have never been subjected to racist comments, bullying, harassment, micromanagement, breaches of GDPR and excessive drinking culture. Truly shocked. Pay and conditions not industry norm:
