The right hand does not know what the left hand is doing. My manager was a complete narcissist and ran off a half dozen good workers and great people before he was moved into another role. HR and management do not have a spine and allowed him to treat people like dirt. I have been in medical sales for 25+ years (10 here) and have NEVER seen a company allow this type of behavior from a manager.  The company does not even have a good indication for its "growth engine product" and will not spend the money to do the research to get it. We are basically a distributorship for Germany....cash cow if you will.  If you like being abused and constantly being "on" then this is the place for you. If you like working on Saturday and Sunday then this is the place for you. If you like being nickeled and dimed then this is the place for you. If you LOVED the idea of being micromanaged then they will love you!!  If you want work life balance then please look somewhere else. If you want to enjoy time with your wife and kids and not constantly have your stomach in a knot waiting on the other shoe to drop then don't come here.  Again after 10 years of blood, sweat, and tears I am trying my best to get away as fast as I can.

Overall, I really like what I do, who I work for, and my coworkers. It's a positive work environment, and working from home (when possible) is supported. Management is supportive of Quality, of learning, and of work/life balance, but the work load is typically high, and amount of paid time off is low, unless you've been with the company for many years. Collaboration across crossfunctional teams is great, but there are also competing priorities keeping projects from moving forward. If you like to learn, are passionate about medical devices, and enjoy a professional work environment, give a future at Getinge some consideration!

What is the best part of working at the company?
Company vehicle and gas card. Opportunity to develop skills. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Training could not be worse. Just checking a box for the FDA. Lead techs over worked with no time for development. Management lies to customers, employees, and corporate to cover up anything and everything. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Nobody is happy. It’s all about keeping the customer quiet so management looks good. Directed to lie to customers and make unofficial modifications to equipment just to keep it going. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Wake up to emails, text messages. Figure out which are priority because you almost always have more work than you could do in a day. Order parts and returning next day if necessary. Don’t forget about PMs every month.

Worst experience I've ever had in my career.  Stay away!  Everything the other reviews mention about unethical poor management/HR/training is 100% on the money. Management is only concerned with their own advancement and not about developing employees.  Work life balance does not exist.  Constant change, poor structure, lack of trust, lack of leadership and no clear direction is every day in this environment.  HR is the biggest disappointment. They manipulate policies to benefit bad employees, yet they claim they are here to help. Don't leave your job for this company.  They will offer you a good salary, but don't be fooled!  The pay is not worth what you have to give up to work here.

Lots of changes taking place, many people laid off or resigning before they are laid off. With changes taking place many folks are not sure what their true role in the company is, doubling workloads on people after layoffs. Atmosphere in some areas work as strong teams and back each other up,  Other areas of the company the managers play the dept members against each other causing undo stress, extreme lack of trust for each other, arguments, If you are lucky enough to get in with a good dept with a Leader for a manager, atmosphere is great and fun to go to work.

I worked 3rd shift on the assembly line at this company for awhile. The people I worked with weren't bad to be around for a shift, but I thought that some of the management decisions relating to production strategies were frustrating in the sense that employees on the line were held responsible for large production hang ups when, in reality, those situation were entirely out of our hands. Overall, it was far from the worst job I've ever had. I would work there again, but only if I could get hired into a different department, such as Quality Control or the Warehouse. Personally, I found the assembly side of the business tedious and unsatisfying.

They didn't have the time or personnel to fully train either me or my teammate. We were told multiple times there would be a team reconfiguration that would allow for more people to be doing our tasks, but it never materialized. When my teammate was on leave for 7 weeks, I had to do the role on my own with little help as everyone else was also slammed with their normal duties. Shortly after my partner returned, we were told we were going to be laid off in a couple months. I will say the head's up, severance, and eligibility for bonus were fair. Manager was pretty great and understanding (and super stretched thin managing multiple teams). Probably just an unfortunate time to join the company.

Management only cares about the money and making their bonus.  They push the employees to their breaking point and when you push back they write you up.  They do not care about the employee.  If you take vacation time they do not have help lined up to cover your area unless there is an emergency.  When you get back they bombard you with service work and push you to work weekends till its complete.  
You will be sent to a basic training course, however there is very little support after that and you are left to figure it out on your own.  The only time you hear from your manager is if the customer calls about a repair is taking longer then expected.  

The list goes on and on...

Typical work involves preventive maintenance, troubleshooting, and repair of infection control equipment. Extensive factory based training and outstanding computer based training modules. Territory management is highly independent and not micromanaged. Co-workers are helpful and supportive. The hardest part of the job is the physical demands including road-warrior travel status and bending, kneeling, climbing, squatting, and heavy-lifting. The most enjoyable part of the job is customer interaction and satisfaction.

Company does not care about employees. They work good employees hard and then undermine the employee. If you raise an issue to HR they determine you to be a troublesome employee. Ideas are fought instead of encouraged.

Mangement is threatened by a good employee instead of grooming them for leadership. Senior Management is constantly changing and the company is in constant change with major negative impacts to the business.

Great company for technology and coworkers are great. Management is horrible. Note the good reviews are from a Mangement trying to balance out the truth.
