MicroVention reviews

-Management at all levels are incompetent. Senior/executive level RA management lack regulatory knowledge and experience. They also lack management skills and therefore, the RA group is not respected among other departments. RA management does not support their employees and will throw them under the bus to protect themselves. Most RA managers have no experience managing employees. Obvious favoritism to certain employees who are permitted to come and go as they please. RA leadership will not initiate any changes to provide a team-oriented environment, in contrast, RA leadership are spectators as the RA staff attacks one another. All levels of RA management lack professionalism. Employees are threatened termination of employment by direct managers, which leads to a hostile work environment. RA management does not provide constructive feedback. -Mass Confusion with a hint of miscommunication As a result of little to no regulatory guidance, Product Development Engineers have chosen to enroll in RA training certification courses. RA management frequently changes their minds. Project responsibilities constantly change, which creates confusion within project teams. -The RA team does not function as a unified group. Certain employees will withhold information to ensure their value to the company leading to backstabbing among coworkers. There is no trust within the RA group. New employees within the RA group will either stay for less than 6 months or never show up at all. -Executive leadership lacks ethics Patient safety is not a concern. Most of the quality assurance group is incompetent and lack experience. The change control system is paper-based (i.e. red folders circulating for years within the building usually getting lost resulting in compliance issues). -The RA staff is left to make non-RA related decisions by other groups (QA/R&D) This often results in misdirected blame placed solely on the RA lead when projects do not meet expectations and requirements.

Organization changes quickly. This place is full of engineers-in-training. Workload can be extremely overwhelming in operations. If you’re not a favorite by your manager, good luck getting promoted. The pay is below industry, and when it comes to raise, it’s a lot less than what other companies are giving. My advice for engineers who’s looking for a job here: you’re probably young and just out of college, take the job, learn, and leave. There isn’t much room for advancement and the company culture is incredibly conservative and modernly backward. It’s not worth it to work hard and put in the extra hours. It’s by the border of Irvine! There’s at least a handful of big companies that offer much better working conditions, benefits, and pay.
