Meaningful work and ethical environment

Pros

Very ethical company with a meaningful mission. The environment is multicultural with most of the teams internationally dispersed, which makes interactions very interesting. The team is very passionate about creating meaningful products that make a difference to patients and the environment is very collaborative. The leadership teams has been recently reshuffled and we are beginning to see a new push towards innovation and a strong focus on developing internal talents, which is really welcome and nice to see.

Cons

So many amazing initiatives around innovation and talent are being driven internally. It would be great if they were better shared and communicated, but I know efforts are being made already in this sense.

Pros

Pay, leadership, disrespect, mistaken, unfair and hostile environment

Cons

This business makes many promises without the intention to keep them. Disappointed in the lack of leadership and structure from what I thought was a good and respectable team.

Pros

The company has a collaborative and supportive culture, where teamwork and mutual respect are consistently encouraged. Leadership is approachable and transparent. There is a strong emphasis on professional growth and development, with plenty of opportunities for training, upskilling, and career progression. LivaNova also promotes a healthy work–life balance, offering flexibility and understanding when it comes to personal commitments. Having a private healthcare is also a bonus!

Cons

Remote working can be a bit hard, however LivaNova has been supportive in organising meet up events and allowing to travel to office when possible.
