Pros

Great products that help improve patient lives.

Cons

• Company growth plans lack substance to actually achieve results/goals. It is smoke and mirrors. • Company is crumbling from the inside as a result of poor leadership from CEO and Board of Directors. Executives out of touch with the running of the company. • Culture is toxic. People are afraid to raise their hand if there is an issue or problem for fear of reprisal by executive leaders. • Too many corporate initiatives and projects. Lack of focus to achieve goals. • Not enough employees to get the work done. Over worked employees. Company is unwilling to add full time headcount. Resource gaps are being filled by temp/contract workers. It appears there are more temps and contractors than company employees. In a lot of cases, temps/contractors are making more than company employees. • Moral is very low across Finance, HR, IT, Procurement, R&D and Supply Chain teams. • High employee turnover rates. • No career development for employees. • Overall, keep job searching. Do not waste your time at Avanos. The grass is not greener at Avanos. It is dried up, brown and full of bugs.

Thank you for taking the time to share your input. We appreciate your candor as this is one of our company’s core values. When we launched Avanos a year ago, we did so knowing that we were embarking on a complex, multi-year journey. We started by surveying our employees and customers, identifying focus areas to achieve our vision of benefitting patients. We continue to regularly survey, and believe our employees appreciate that we are using their feedback to adjust and improve. Our focus remains on the long-term success of Avanos, and we’re extremely proud of the progress we have made in just one year. Transformation does not happen overnight. We are building an organization and a culture that reinforces doing the right things the right way, and believe our employees know that the work they’re doing is valuable and meaningful. Again, thank you for sharing your thoughts. If you have any additional comments or questions, we invite you to email recruiting.support@avanos.com.

401K Work from home options

Cons

I joined as an SME in my field and found myself in total chaos. The project was led by people who had never developed an electronic device, any product whatsoever. Still, instead of listening to SMEs, they had a huge ego and pushed their agenda constantly. With a lot of distractions, discrimination, and disrespect for almost two years, I stayed there. The project took forever to develop because of the lack of experience and the huge ego of those who led it. The company underwent 3-4 reconstructions during my stay, two CEO changes, and two rounds of layoffs, including the third, when I was laid off. You can guess who stayed in the company - those who led the project and caused the chaos. Stay away from them.
