Training is a complete joke! 
You must a face mask over hair nets but you can pull your mask down and expose your nose to breath. The masks are for Covid but pulling it down exposes your nose.... great idea management.
They rush you through a trining class and throw you on a production team, they are also behind on orders almost an entire year worth so you will work Monday-Friday. They don’t even give you the option, they just say your staying late and we will work Friday. Often times people get there time off requests rejected after they have been approved. The managers do not care about an employee unless they raise a problem but they just remove the employee instead of addressing any concerns. The pay is awful, There should be hazardous duty pay having restricted breathing all day.
The soap the use to wash hands is cheap and they don’t allow anyone to use lotion unless their management team provides it to floor employees.
You walk in everyday get a temp at ire reading fill out a bogus questionnaire to screen for Covid, people coughing go right to work.
They will also take 6% of your wages for a 401k plan you get auto enrolled in, they will hold your check for almost 3 weeks allowing your benefits to kick in so you loose 6% of your first check that doesn’t have a full two weeks of pay already.

They do not tell you any of this! Crooked company don’t waste a min there! 

I was with the company for over 7 years and, for most of that time, I was genuinely happy. However, things took a sharp turn after the previous Operations Director left in 2022. Since then, the workplace has become increasingly unpleasant.
While the pay may seem fair on paper, it’s nowhere near adequate for the amount of work expected. Just take a look at the job descriptions and the offers — it’s honestly a joke. You’re expected to carry the weight of multiple roles for a single paycheck.

In my last year there, I felt completely used and unappreciated. I wasn’t just doing my job; I was also covering for others who had quit. Despite the extra effort, all I got was a pat on the back and empty words like “good job,” with no real support.
The new director is constantly traveling and seems disconnected from the reality of the facility. Rather than hiring people who care and could actually help, decisions are being made based on personal biases. Most shockingly, they recently let go of the one person who truly understood how the facility runs — someone with over 30 years of experience on the company — simply because of a personal conflict with the director that spoke bad about him with executives.
It’s sad to see how far the company has fallen. What was once a supportive and rewarding place to work has turned into a toxic, mismanaged environment

This company will lead you to believe that when you are hired, there are so many benefits, which include development, especially if you are straight out of college.  They then require that you complete work of up to 2-3 persons within a time period unrealistic to many, especially if you have other commitments, like a family or friends.  Corporate will tell you that they do not have funds to hire more people and make you feel guilty for not working hard enough.  I would avoid working for the company as it will suck you dry and create issues with your home life and health if you are there long enough.  Also, you cannot rely on HR to help you as they will quickly communicate what is said to be a confidential conversation to the persons you report or ask for guidance on.

First off, they make you think you're going to work 4 10 hour work days but you really wont, they lied to me and i pretty much ended up working 50 hours a week every week. Their training is a joke they pretty much throw you in there and expect you be as fast as the people who've been working there for 10 plus years and blame you for making mistakes and being slow. Management makes promises they wont keep and your "team" will most likely be a bunch of old hags who are depressed at their job and will try to insult you and make you depressed too for being a newbie. I pretty much got let go for taking some time off for being with my fiance at the hospital and not being able to keep up with others , so dont waste your time applying here unless you want to be miserable

I'm a temp employee. I love the work. I'm not too keen on the "quality vs  Efficiency. I've been there since Thanksgiving week 2021. I'm SLOW. I dont mess around or talk but I'm still so very slow. My work quality is fine but my efficiency is not. My supervisor makes me feel bad about it. I'm sure she dont mean to but she's giving me 2 weeks to improve by 30% whatever that means. 
The hours are long but worth it. I love working Fridays for the overtime but I dont like the every other Saturday work even though the pay checks are awesome then.
I dont know much about the benefits due to not being a direct livanova employee yet. 
It's overall a good place to work. 

I worked as a medical device assembler, so first thing you do when you come in is put protective wear, hair net and shoe protection so you don’t head extra germs or dirt into the clean room. you intensely wash your hands all the way up to your elbow and then go into the clean room. there’s different sections in the clean room but it’s all so easy, you have the parts and you simply follow the screen in front of you to build the device. most of what i did was devices used in heart surgery so no joke, i was always happy to do my job. the pay is amazing!!!! the people you work with are so sweet. they would even regularly bring food and sweets. i miss this job so much

Learned a lot of different trades, work ethics, met a lot of different types of people. Had a steady job through out the years, moving to different areas and different jobs within the company. Learned a lot about cardiovascular health care, dialysis health care. Learned how work in assembly, production, auditing procedures, manufacturing, procedures, packing out product to be ready to ship out, learned how to look for defects in product, machine operations, set up technician experience in plastic extruder machines, and how to operate a forklift, and warehouse work in receiving and shipping areas.

This company is managed by ex-Danaher people who have very little experience in Medical Device.  What worked at a Danaher dental unit will not work in a fast-paced, patient-centric business that demands authenticity.  Leadership is based in London and are simply not present.  The NM business is based in a bad part of Houston and the location has hurt the company's ability to attract seasoned and engaged talent.  We are now having trouble recruiting A-players because the existing leadership is poor. 

I had worked at Liva Nova for 7 years. During the first 3 years there it was a great place to work. Once they started changing management it went to trash. I became a lead withing the first three years of being in the company. I was doing good and then my supervisor then left and I started to get treated unfairly. I was given more responsibility with little to no pay in return. We used to work 4 days a week and a little over time here and there but now is like 5 to 6 days a week. They push and push and push till people get tired of being tired and leave. I really do not recommend working here.....

What is the best part of working at the company?
The service we provide to our patients

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Poor leadership at the executive level of Director and VP 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The culture is poor with senior leadership constantly undercutting each other in an attempt to build up their narcissistic personality.  An insincere VP who has never worked anywhere else and was brought up in a poor culture that degrades their employees and discards them when they start to ask questions.
