Biomerics

I learned a lot at this job and made some good friends.  This job tends to be very stressful, it forces you to become a efficient worker and pushes your time management skills.  It is very repetitive work, can get boring to do the same thing all the time.  I feel that I was personally given too much of a workload, I was responsible for so much.  I would go in at 6am and never know what time I was going to get off that afternoon.  They occasionally made me work Saturdays and most of the time they would inform me of this on Friday.  Working over 40 hours a week really started to affect my responsibilities as a mother.  I didn't have time to help with homework, it was hard to keep up with everything, I couldn't take off if they were sick, and had to work on weekends.   Any time I would mention that we were working too much to anyone, their response was "bet those checks are nice". I will say they were nice, but I felt that it wasn't enough to make up for the time that I wasn't able to be there for my kids or seeing them struggle in school.  I gave my supervisor a month notice, if things didn't improve that I was quitting.  Within that month, nothing improved...so I left.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Best part of this job was the schedule. I enjoyed the team I worked with. After that there isn't anything good.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
No budget for IT, constantly required to perform above our teams capabilities with no support or even the tools to do so. management doesn't care as long as they look good to the Exec's. Office Politics were horrible and zero stability. They will fire you on the spot for no reason. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Poor, culture is tech resistant and it's about who you know,  not how well you perform. Unrealistic expectations!

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Non stop dealing with budget freezes, lack of resources or support from upper levels. It's a revolving door, plus office politics daily. On site support isn't that at all. 5 members of a team expected to support 13 sites across the U.S.

Initially I was excited to make an impact but over the years I am sad to say that this company has gone downhill. Many people have either been laid off, fired, or have resigned within the past year. 

It is common for people to wear many hats within the company which leads to a lot of burnout and unorganized chaos not mention many of their processes are still being figured out/created which I would imagine could be difficult to come into as a newbie. 

Upper management only cares about $$$ + numbers and do not live up to the company values they claim to possess. The snobbery from the top-down is incredibly obvious. 

I have lost all hope for this company and urge anyone coming in to think twice before committing to this job as it’s likely you’ll get burnt out having to “fight fires” as opposed to doing your actual job. 

Needless to say I am glad I left this place.


I worked for biomerics for almost 5 years. Most of the people are nice but the managers are not supportive when you need tools to do your daily job. They seem lazy and act like they dont care when problems come up. Suggestions from employees on how we can improve our work is ignored because they really don't care. I seen a manager touch another manager inappropriately and bad behavior between the managers there. If u are going to work there, the stent building is easy to work at u dont have to work fast and can take it easy. The balloon room is drama and hurts your hands. And u have to use MEK with not enough protection. U should work in the boxing room it was fun. 

Hostile work environment. Management is lacking focus, discipline, they have an exclusionary attitude towards experienced employees, rude, openly aggressive towards people they do not like. 
Typical day starts with no direction, no goal, no responsibility. 
People are uncoordinated, lack foresight for work requirements and duties. Leadership is more interested in shipping suspect/OOT product to meet customer orders and monthly numbers than working towards making a quality product. 
Workplace culture is "Shut up and be a good little puppy and do what you are told" instead of striving towards efficiency, quality, profitability, customer satisfaction.
HR will openly lie about situations to save the company.

Overall my job was easy and very straightforward. I have nothing bad to say in regards to my position as a quality inspector. There is no sense of direction when things are being changed left and right. The real issues lie within management. When my job becomes to take care of other peoples responsibilities and other people are not trained well by a supervisor, then my job becomes hard. When management cant hire enough people for roles and the company has to cut corners and deviate from there own procedures thats where the problems come from, especially from a quality stand point. Took this position as a learning experience and what i got was the complete opposite. I hope I never walk into another facility that operates the same way. 

The company has grown at all costs and the biggest costs are the morale of the people.  Toxic culture.  Cutthroat.   Executive leadership has no clue what is really going on.  Everything is about $$$.  They speak about the company values yet they don't follow them.  The turnover in SLC is atrocious.  90% of team had less than 18mo there.  People are treated as pawns and indispensable.   They burn through talent and in Utah the word is out to avoid this company.  Pay across the board isn't competitive.   Benefits are poor also.  Layoffs every year for many years now.  It is very much good ole boy mentality.   Biomerics sets up all employees to fail.    

I loved my coworkers, a few people in management. I was moved around the last few months that I was there. Had too many lay offs which I was feeling like I had no job security.  They fired one of the head managers that was there for more than 20 years and more people that was there for years. That was very difficult for me to work for such a company that truly doesn't care for their employees who where there more many years. My coworkers didn't get the raises they were promised.  Over all, if you need a job, it will get you by, but look for something else because your employment with the company could end with no warning. 

Biomerics is a good company. The Brooklyn Park Advance Catheter unit is very bad due to poor senior management. Worst senior management and unprofessional is the Ops manager that you will never want to work for. Very poor work culture and the politics at the BP site is unbelievable. There is also an Industrial Engineer that was hire about 2 years ago and still employ at this BP site that plays Politics games and have been going around reporting many employees across all departments to Senior management and getting them terminated. What a joke this Industrial Engineer is.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Would give this company 0 star

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
No supervision and kids ran the night shift

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Horrible work environment.  Not ethics

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Worked all stretcher machines by myself at night but day shift had 3 people on same machines.   No respect for hard working employees.  Company was managed horribly and if you spoke up you could forget ever being promoted or given a raise
