W. L. Gore & Associates reviews

Everytime I see the write up about Gore every year as Best Place To Work, it makes me want to puke. Gore is truly the joke of the medical device community. Sure, they've had some successes. But those successes come as the expense of time and money. Gore has got to be the most inefficient company in America! Sure, there are bosses. People don't just choose who they want to follow. No, you don't pick your committments...your boss does. How stupid are you if you believe you just walk in and do what you want to do? Gore is the same as any other company, they just call it something else and Fortune 500 and the public think its the best place since sliced bread. Enticing, isn't it? Until you get there and find out your bosses are telling you what to do. No wonder the attition rate in the Flagstaff offices is so high...and thats not counting those people who are dying to leave but can't bc of the housing downfall. Fortune says that each building has no more than 100-200 employees. One building has 600+. It's all a lie!

You may at first feel like you are being under paid when you first start a Gore. This is natural and true. You must show what you are worth and this will become very apparent when you go though the compensation process which occurs once a year. Your fellow associates will rank you as to how much you contribute to the team as a whole. If you rate low expect to receive feedback on how to improve if you rate high still expect feedback and how you can improve. Continuous improvement.
