Oxford Instruments reviews about "team"

Changeable schedules can be frustrating, but that's semicon!

Always high-turnover of UK management makes for ever-changing priorities.

Poor planning. Poor communication between departments. Poor co-operation between departments. Blame culture. Currently in the process of forcing all production staff from flexible working hours to strict shift patterns, whilst preaching their commitment to good work/life balance, well being and mental health awareness. Continuous barrages of terrible management decisions. 4 managing directors in as many years. No encouragement to progress your career. Team leaders that tell you, you're in a "dead end job , that's not going anywhere." High staff turnover. Their handling of the pandemic has been terrible. Management trying to run the business from home.

Not for you if you like a narrow and predictable job that stays the same every day

Benefits are currently less then normal.

Principals do not understand the value of others, hire valuable experience they will not listen to, do not find value on hiring and using effectively business talents outside their skill set -many blind spots there Company and team opportunities are fumbled by not planning and placing resources based on data and facts Cult mindset product development on obscure unproven new techniques that hurts marketing and sales teams, stop marketing penetration Decisions fall in the hands of very few with no rational or due process / group analysis. On acquisition employees got admonished not to communicate with OI which limited visibility of areas for improvement No career development, chip-on-shoulder attitude by principal -no leadership skills: take full credit for team wins, blame full failure on others Below industry compensation Emergence of important number of competitors and dominance by market leader with savvier business teams

poor management, lots of politics, some management have no relevant experience , poor communication from management , haphazard way of working, no clear instructions or training, process never documented, very poor salary, software is of cave man era

There is a lot of travel

Compensation is not so good, and clear leadership of middle management lacking.
