LivaNova reviews

Many - Specific to R&D in Houston 1. Highly toxic work culture: A. Highest turnover rate I’ve ever seen including my grocery store job in my teens (estimated 30-40% of engineers left within my first year on the job) B. Rampant micro-management C. Exorbitant number of meetings (including daily stand-ups) D. Completely unrealistic and unjustified deadlines for product submission (18 months / 5 years is closer to industry standard) leading to: E. Excessive UNPAID overtime F. Periodic de-motivating and demeaning reviews with supervisor G. Poor Leadership (Directors and above) have obvious lack of experience on production programs H. Random and good-ole boy promotions I. Contractors and consultants make-up nearly half the R&D work force and will continue to increase

Where do I even start. 1. Absolutely no scope for personal growth and improvement 2. Blatant favoritism when it comes to promotions. Folks who had less than 6 months of experience in the company were made managers and one guy was made a manager and a director in a span of 3 months. 3. Top management are bunch of hypocrites 4. Mid level management folks are only trying to secure their jobs so will follow ANY order given to them 5. You are very important until the product is submitted. Once submitted, no one in the top management cares for you 6. Shady promotions 7. No technical training in the past 2+ years 8. Lot of talented people left because the management failed them 9. Hopeless and incapable VPs (at least in R&D) 10. You will be called inefficient if you don't work more than 50 or 60 hours a week.
