Pros
Great product- beautiful facility. Great marketing team. Most mid level management and lower are hard working people who deliver the best they can people despite being overworked and underpaid.
Cons
The HR dept. is the worst I have ever experienced -completely inept, power hungry, manipulative and ignorant of basic HR guidelines. Curious that while other teams were being hit by pay cuts and no raises, that team was full of promotions... Training since day one was continuously a challenge- filled with short cuts and inept trainers... New processes in all departments that are rolled out are filled with short cuts that only a few know about and "work-arounds" as opposed to testing systems and being sure they worked first before expecting the employees to adapt the new processes... Upper management is clueless and out of touch with realistic demands on their teams. There are no clear cut paths to success or growth, no rewards or compensation for excelling at your job- it doesn't matter- at Straumann you will be lumped in with those whose work is at best mediocre. Employee satisfaction is not important to those running the N. American office. So many people are jumping from this sinking ship, and yet, those responsible continue to reign- it is baffling., and sad.
