Engaged Employer

Gore is a good place, but may not be what you expect if you believe what you read. - Research Scientist W. L. Gore & Associates Employee Review

Pros

Gore hires good people that make the work environment freindly and amicable. Gore is located in a beautiful location in Flagstaff that offers many weekend activities. Gore gives employees a lot of personal freedom, hours and days worked are flexible and working from home is acceptable when needed. Gore has products that we are feel good about representing and working on.

Cons

It is hard to get personal recognition. Despite the Culture's claim to lack of structure, there is a great deal of heirachy and the little people rarely get to represent themselves. Salaries do not equal what the same job would receive at a another company, unless you make that happen up front. Salaries have not been increased to match the skyrocking cost of living in Flagstaff.

Pros

Great benefits and pay helps and feels great, initially.

Cons

The workplace culture is highly toxic and not as supportive of talent as they let on. High performers are targeted by internal cliques who deliberately engineer situations for them to fail. Management entirely condones this behavior, while simultaneously expecting absolute perfection from employees under impossible conditions—forgetting that people are not AI. Furthermore, professional merit is ignored; higher levels of education, years of experience, and employee longevity mean absolutely nothing. Management relies heavily on deflection and stalling tactics to delay growth opportunities. It is an exhausting environment that penalizes hard work and actively blocks career advancement. Overall, the company falls short with their original principles and core foundations for its employees/Associates.
