Sonic Healthcare reviews

Please note that this review is specifically about the US division of Sonic Healthcare. This is a company in transition, and they are handling it very poorly. Rampant downsizing, rumor-mongering, unwarranted persecution, unfounded accusations, and gross distortions of the truth, even outright lies, are normal. The sad part: This comes from the highest levels of management. You just can't trust what you're told. Upper level management seems determined to sabotage some labs. Certain divisions of the company are primed for destruction due to mismanagement by the US corporate group. Good people are driven out or fired. Political maneuvering is a necessity to make it. If the wrong people dislike you, you will not survive. You are encouraged and expected to participate in the persecution of those who are disliked. Morale is in the toilet in some locations. Good luck following company policy as an employee. If they have a written one, they sure don't follow it or share it with employees. HR is NOT your friend at this company. They do not have the pulse of the company. You will be lucky if you ever meet anyone in HR prior to the day you are kicked out the door.

This company has absolutely no consideration or respect for their employees. If you enjoy being low-balled at every turn, or being hired for a permanent position by a director who plans to eliminate your department in 3 months, then this company is highly recommended. Also, if you enjoy working for a director who is utterly oblivious to their responsibilities and what their department actually does, then this company is highly recommended. The only reason that you should even consider working here is if you have nowhere else to go.
