Strong mission clouded by chaotic management and stress - Anonymous employee Novocure Employee Review

Management style is micromanagement-heavy, with little support or trust given to employees. The development process feels chaotic and poorly organized, which leads to constant firefighting instead of proper planning and execution. Product strategy and priorities are often unclear, and coordination between teams is weak. The work environment is quite stressful due to ongoing pressure, shifting expectations, and lack of structure. The opportunities for personal or professional growth are quite limited. Employees are overloaded with urgent issues, expectations are not communicated clearly, and recognition often feels tied more to personal relationships than actual performance. The HR culture is also strange and uncomfortable. Employees sometimes disappear from their roles in the middle of the workday without any communication to the team, with no proper handover or clarity around ownership of responsibilities.
