Total Dumpster Fire - Engineer W. L. Gore & Associates Employee Review

Pros

Most of the people working at Gore are good people.

Cons

The high level leadership of this company is full of conniving sycophants who treat regular Associates with contempt. The CEO, Bret Snyder, is gutting the company and seems to think nobody notices what he and his COO are doing. They've been restructuring businesses so that they can shut them down and avoid paying out severance packages. They're shutting down remote work without any plan in place. The level of greed and disregard for employees would be astounding if it wasn't so befitting of someone born into such privilege and entitlement. I suppose it must be hard to stand up for people when you don't have a spine. Snyder hasn't addressed any of his actions, but it must be hard to speak when you've had a silver spoon shoved down your throat for so long.

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.
