ABIOMED

Most employees at Abiomed feel passionate about the company mission and purpose.

The products save lives, literally. To meet patients who are alive because of the products, and to hear their stories, gives me a purpose I have never experienced. It's completely odd to me.

The culture at Abiomed is one of respect and loyalty. Many people love working here so much, they are not even on LinkedIn! That is so bizarre to me. Managers really appreciate the extra effort employees make to help the company be successful.

My typical day goes by very quickly. I need to remember to eat lunch. Never a boring moment. This is always a good sign.

People who have a good attitude, and are willing to help anywhere anytime are the most successful. We are lucky to not have many complainers, which is a plus.

The first month I was here I was taught so much. My boss was very open to me attending the onsite training classes meant for other departments, as she knew it would make me a better employee. 

Whenever I tell my friends about my job and what we make, they are interested and impressed. I have already referred a friend who has started and loves it here. 

It's not perfect. We are doubling our space now in MA and in Germany, and with that comes challenges of where to put new employees before the new expanded office space opens and other challenges. Soon we will have a new caf, breakroom, office space, clean room and more, but until it is opened it is hard! 

As a public company, we are often in the news, and our stock fluctuates with the market and with every quarter. Overall, our stock grew 137% which is cool since we have an employee stock purchase plan!

Mostly, the people I work with have the same work ethic, values and moral beliefs I do, which is important to me.

I recently joined Abiomed - (we are experiencing incredible growth right now) - and on-boarding experience was one of the best I've had anywhere. People are genuinely nice and genuinely happy to be working here at Abiomed - people smile in the hallways. They do a great job making sure you feel comfortable from the minute you start. Everyone here is working toward common goal of saving lives one patient at a time, and you can feel that. People work hard, but it is not a cut-throat, competitive environment - it's friendly, everyone is working toward the same cause. Compensation is generous, though a couple of the benefits aren't as strong as those at past organizations. We are in high-growth mode, which isn't for everyone, but the work environment is wonderful. People here are fantastic - this is an amazing company to work for.

Abiomed is a fantastic place to work, offering a beautiful office environment and a well-maintained cafeteria that enhances the overall workplace experience. The company fosters a collaborative culture with friendly and supportive coworkers, making it an enjoyable place to grow professionally.

One of the standout aspects of working at Abiomed is the extensive on-the-job training, which helps employees develop their skills and stay at the forefront of the industry. This commitment to professional growth has been a major advantage for many team members.

However, in recent times, workplace politics have become more noticeable, affecting morale. Additionally, some layoffs have seemed to be influenced by factors other than performance, which has raised concerns among employees.

Overall, Abiomed remains a strong company with great opportunities, but recent internal dynamics could benefit from more transparency and fairness.

-Overcrowded office and it's noisy
-Not enough desks for the people who work there
-They seem to hire primarily from the large pool of Co-ops/Interns
-It's hard to tell how many people are actually "employees" of the company because there are so many interns/co-ops and contractors
-Many contractors are brought in on visas from other countries and then aren't paid a "living wage" even though they work on site in Massachusetts
-Good for hiring veterans
-The company itself is rolling in money and it's obvious whenever there is a company event
-Employee population appears to be mostly under 30
-It appears that about 50% of workers are contract and not employees
-Chance of getting hired here from contract seems very small
-Chance of getting hired here if you are over 40 seems very low unless you are executive level


Product truly does save lives and the work can be very satisfying.  Some very talented sales and clinical people are part of the commercial sales team.  However, the culture set by management is toxic. Very much a churn and burn philosophy with abnormally high turnover.   No trust, respect, equal voice, social sensitivity, or psychological safety is present in the organization.  No alignment between sales and clinical teams.   Within the organization there is constant back stabbing and brow beating.  Sales quotas are not attainable and <30% make their number.  QOL is terrible and the micromanagement is insulting to industry veterans.

Awesome place, very nice people, Cleanrooms where you will be working, are very clean and demanding everybody wears their mask, weekly COVID-19 tests, It’s safe to say that it’s a healthy and safe environment for people. I really recommend this job, I’ve been here for 3 years now; I love it :) , before Covid-19 we used to even meet patients that had been treated and they would talk about their experiences and all, now they still do it but online which is safer and it’s fine, does not bother me jaja. I’ll leave it up to here, good luck if you apply :D

I loved my job because the purpose of it.  But the reality is that they don't believe in older personal. If you are older than 40 yrs is going to be hard ti get in. The other hard thing is the training. The people they have in this area is not the most capable one.  But if you are in believe me. You are going to be sattusfued of what you are doing everyday. And its very easy and comfortable to work in there. No pressure of quantity ..they want quality.

Work day structure planning on hitting A,B,C accounts. Constant physician focus. No matter how difficult the job can be stay focused on what I need to obtain to be successful. Management Style good communication and allow me to be responsible for my actions. Team player is very important as in working with co-workers. Hardest part of the job is not having management support. The most enjoyable part of the job is winning. Knowing confidently that I am doing the best that I can.

There is absolutely no work life balance.  The management staff is rude and they do not help you at all.  The expectations are ridiculous with meeting with clients, providing case support, checking on patients, doing education and then having to be on several phone calls a week.  Not to mentation reading books and discussing booking on the phones. After, working 12 hours a day and then having to   be on nightly calls til 9 pm, does not allow for family time.

During my internship at Abiomed, I was able to gain experience working in a blood lab environment, using 3D printers for prototyping, and bring forward some projects machining parts and building replica parts. It was easy to transition from work area to work area and opportunities for learning are everywhere.
