Pros

Job stability, company did well so the feeling of job insecurity was not there

Cons

I. Toxic culture, referred to maternity leave as “a vacation”. 2. Few women worked there and even fewer mothers. 3. No work/life balance. 4. CEO surrounds himself with “yes men” and kept applying his military background into those corporate initiatives. 5. Breed toxic work culture 6. No permissible hybrid work even during Covid. People were told to return to work and isolate at their desks and take meeting from work desk. 7. Desk checks performed to ensure butts were in seats early and late 8. Poor structure, people cut corners to push our work quickly and generally with poor quality 9. Trump paraphernalia in and around the office. Including a massive Trump/Pence cement truck parked in the parking lot.

As you know, Abiomed is a learning organization and open to discussing any subject that can help improve our processes, products, employee experience and patient outcomes. Therefore, we encourage that matters important to our employees be brought to HR for a confidential conversation as soon as possible. With that said, females represent 43% of our company demographics - many of whom are mothers. Also, 50% of our board of directors is female and/or minority. In our latest employee engagement survey, 84% of women at Abiomed reported a feeling of belonging and 90% said they feel that their job makes good use of their skills and abilities. Abiomed is a non-partisan company and we have never seen or been aware of a Trump/Pence cement truck on premise. Sincerely, Abiomed HR
