Great 3rd gen family run Company working hard to get even better. - Engineer W. L. Gore & Associates Employee Review

Exciting place to start an engineering career. Exceptional internal trainings and mentorship/sponsorship program. Technology focused company with many interesting products and the ability to grow within the company. It is fun to work here. Good work life balance.

Underperformance is tolerated, which often means others have to pick up the slack. Pay increases could have been higher. Younger talent leaves because of this. Leadership changes and loss of Gore culture.

If you're a young engineer, you are given a good work/life balance.

The culture didn't fade away, it feel like it was intentionally destroyed. There was a time 10-20 years ago when the balance between making money and having fun created an environment where associates enjoyed coming into work. Today, that has shifted dramatically to making money at the expense of fun. In the past, it was rare to see an associate leave Gore, and many times they found their way back. Today, it's common to see associates leaving Gore either by their own choice, or through a lay-off. The culture previously practiced valued the knowledge associates brought to the table, and allowed them to make their commitments aligned with their knowledge. Today, they force associates into commitments that may not interest them, or may not have the necessary skill sets to be successful in those commitments. So much has changed for the negative. It is sad to watch.
