Toxic work environment, highly recommend looking elsewhere. Favoritism is rampant, your job can be eliminated if you fall out of favor. Female managers are promoted after inappropriate relationships with senior executives. The CFO told the Purchasing department "all of you are replaceable with software" - very demoralizing. Many employees in Audubon are early career with no experience so salaries are well below average in the area for med-dev, leading to high turnover.  Senior leaders get bonuses for launches but push unrealistic expectations onto staff to support launch schedules for implants and robotics which have many issues with software releases and are years behind schedule. Senior VP holds projects back for easier Regulatory clearance, despite CEO's push to be first - you can never win in that situation.  Sales teams constantly lied to on launch dates, I do not recommend working here. Watch out, when you leave they will claw back any 401k pay...

I worked at the San Antonio branch via a temp agency. At first everything seemed to be fine.The work was new to me, interesting, and it felt like I was really making a difference.  After a few months, the politics started, and folks started showing their true colors. Speaking of true colors, there's a pinch of racism going on. That didn't bother me because at the end of the day, I was only there for the green. I just happen to notice. 

The training was HORRIBLE. It was kind of a hands on type of teaching, but when it came down to knowing the ins and outs of exactly what it was that you were doing, you were lost. Paper work is a HUGE deal. You're expected to do a ton of it while you're processing tissue, and just  as much, when you're done. Too many errors can and will cost you your job. Simple mistakes like your "i" resembling the number "1" can get you a write up. Within 2 weeks of me being there, I was half behind trained on 3 different functions, and had to train myself in my down time. Where do they do that at? In my short  time there, I watched 10 people leave the company.

I would suggest if you get an offer anywhere else, take it.  Globus is full of managers that belittle you, talk down to you, curse at you and think they’re better than you.  I have never witnessed the disgusting treatment of people in my career as  I have here.  Hoping to get out soon, this company is antiquated.  Gossipy managers that act like children, throw temper tantrums and expect you to know how someone with 20+ years that they forced out knew.  It’s starts at the top of the department with leadership by fear and intimidation due to insecurities.  No staff respects the managers and constantly laugh at them.  The smug, condescending attitudes will continue to push turnover rates up.  Hoping the new structure with Nuva leadership will help.  

“Do as I say, you’re not supposed to think.”  “ I’m salty for having to help you with this” comes to mind from a manager that is being asked for guidance.  Managers talk so poorly and target people that “don’t fit in” being anyone that has other experience.  Happy hours and drinking stories from the weekend is common.  I’ve seen a Sr Manager storm away from a professional conversation like a toddler that didn’t get their way. 

Stay away!  Coming out of college, find another company!

The company is going downhill rapidly. Open positions are never filled as the compensation is often less than local fast food joints. Executives love to brag about "globus millionaires" and how well the company is doing financially while most workers struggle to afford to live without a second job. You'll be expected to perform the tasks of 2-3 people on 3/5's of a livable salary. Upper management old boys club does not understand the basic functions of subordinates' jobs. Most could be replaced with an email forwarder. Those that are useful are on the way out and will be taking with them knowledge only they know within the company. There is no plans/direction to replace the knowledge that will leave with these people. The job would be fine if the pay matched the effort one must put forth to get anything done. There is no advancement for useful people as it would leave a hole that they couldn't fill with their frankly insulting rates of pay. This company seriously needs to do a cost of living study and realize that the pay cannot support an individual let alone a family. The people are overall nice, but mostly unqualified for their positions (again low rate of pay = no real talent).

Let me start off with I loved my team, and was working very hard to improve the processes so their jobs could become more efficient. After five weeks, I was let go. When I asked why I was told that I wasn’t doing enough to help the team specifically in reference to utilities. Mind you, I was handed an apartment that was broken. For a company as big as Globus, they really had no control in place. I was working to put those controls in place as well as put automation in place to take the load off of the employees who are overworked. When it came to utilities, it was one specific location that hadn’t been paid in several months before I even got there.  I suppose somebody had to take the fall for that. I found that the management team were immature, unwilling to take feedback and somewhat bullies.  I was personally shocked that what they wanted to hire for and what they actually wanted somebody to do with two very different things. In my opinion, if you’re not a yes person, you’ll never be able to work at Globus medical. 

I've worked here for several years. I setup and operate cnc swiss turns. The atmosphere is calm and coworkers are friendly. The problem is they are trying to expand but due to the lack of personnel and the inability to
recruit more. The results are beginning to show. 
Alot of it comes down to controlling personalities and their inability to pass on knowledge as wells letting others assume more responsibility. When you see new faces your excited to have a new team member. But then you quickly notice that same individual with knowledge that would help the team is brushed aside by individuals who think they need to do every aspect of the job and are afraid to pass on some of the responsibility to that same individual who was hired to for that purpose. I witnessed it first hand recently and am really shocked. We have several new machines but are letting valuable employee assets leave.

Each Product Development (PD) team is an isolated island in what feels like the wild west. There often does not seem to be clear direction from management, with a mindset of "do whatever it takes to get the product out" even if that means cutting corners.

Globus often touts itself as being "One", but each site works independently and will often point fingers back at each other. Every team documents, tests, and releases products in different ways which convolutes the entire product development cycle.

These issues start from the top with abysmal management, floating by while the rest of their teams sink under the weight and pressure of the work put on them.

TLDR:
-Average Pay
-Long work hours in an extremely stressful environment
-Lack of clarity into documentation and "the correct path"
-Cut corners on products with dangerous snap decision making
-Tyrannical leadersh

Upper management is a joke, production and planning are handled poorly, promotions and raises are non-existent, products are produced to a very low standard and paperwork/data is often forged. People who actually do their job are used and abused and are not paid fairly at all, company is severely behind on the overall pay scale. Benefits become worse every year and PTO is slowly being taken away as new policies are introduced that negatively impact workers. The company runs itself off of cutting corners and pushing poorly designed products out the door regardless of their production quality. Globus Medical is focused on becoming #1 and pleasing its shareholders, they do not represent or recognize quality work or skilled workers. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Innovative and proprietary products

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Having appointments with surgeons that took time away from their clinic to visit the headquarters only to have the pilot cancel last second. Lost a large account overnight thanks to that.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
At Globus it was great from my end, however the distribution in South Florida was toxic and based on nepotism. People would build accounts then the distributors would change the territory and give their friends the newly acquired business. Criminal.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Offic calls and surgeries. 5am start time to whenever the day ended which could be the following day.

Strong, growing company that is in a position to dominate market share while still remaining innovative and agile compared to larger competitors. Showing signs of growth in this regard but still efficient. Work life balance is non existent if in the field but that is simply an industry standard, not the fault of Globus. 

Management is hands off and prefers to act as facilitators when needed rather than micromanagers.  You are responsible for your day and how you choose to generating business. You learn to be independent, or you will simply not last long. 

Culture likely varies team to team but I have had nothing but great experiences thus far.
