Strong Potential, But Leadership Direction Is Deeply Concerning

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

LivaNova offers life-changing therapies and products that truly make a difference for patients. Many dedicated employees continue to work hard to advance that mission. Unfortunately, the company’s leadership and HR practices are undermining what could be an exceptional culture.

Cons

LivaNova has tremendous potential, supported by many hardworking and capable employees who genuinely care about advancing innovation and improving lives. However, the current leadership—particularly within R&D—has failed to provide the vision, engagement, and accountability the organization deserves. The CIO’s leadership presence is minimal, and his team lacks focus on tangible business outcomes. There is a growing perception that energy is being spent on personal branding and external visibility rather than driving meaningful internal progress. Many recent hires appear to come from the same small professional circle, creating an environment that values familiarity over capability. Employees deserve leaders who are visible, communicative, and committed to results—not disconnected executives surrounded by a narrow inner circle. Until this dynamic changes, LivaNova’s culture, morale, and innovative edge will continue to erode.

Good Company, Better Culture

Pros

I really enjoy working with my Team as they're very supportive and are always willing to assist. The overall collaborative culture is something that I really enjoy and find refreshing in a company as big as ours

Cons

Since I am on a smaller team, the internal mobility options are not available to me at this time. I'm hopeful though that with more growth will come more opportunities for me and my teammates.

Toxic Culture

Anonymous

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

• Products have meaningful impact on patients’ lives. • Some talented individuals at the mid-level and below who truly care about their work.

Cons

• Toxic culture: Leadership often fosters favoritism and politics over merit. Employees who raise concerns are ignored or sidelined. • HR does not advocate for employees: HR is viewed as protecting leadership rather than addressing real workplace issues. Complaints about mistreatment or inequities go unresolved. • Pay disparities: Compensation is inconsistent and inequitable across roles, even when employees perform the same job. Raises and promotions are not transparent. • Workload expectations are unreasonable
