Disconnected leadership, chaotic and toxic work environment, no chance of professional development - Engineer Oerlikon Employee Review

Their additive manufacturing business unit is in shambles after significant turn over in upper management leading to a new, self centered, disconnected team who no longer understand the technology. They are scared of losing any of the little remaining talent left so they are actively working with surrounding companies creating verbal agreements to not hire from each other. A look into the daily routine: Half your day is spent on redundant and useless meetings where you try to explain to management why the current team is overworked and needs more support. Management argues back that everyone isn't being efficient with their time. The other half of your day is trying not to drown while putting out fires because there are not enough people to track projects on the floor and establish processes that you would inspect in an Aerospace facility.
