Inept Management - Anonymous employee Cochlear Employee Review

1.) Management is 2 faced. 2.)Just because you have a degree, does not mean you know what your doing. 3.)There is no 3 year or 5 year plan for the company. The plan changes every year and employees always find out late. 4.)Employee reviews are tied directly to raises. You could be doing 200% at your job, but reviews are done on supposed "goals" which are not even part of the job or your job performance, and depends if your management team likes you. Was once told that that I did excellent job, but rating was low because that is how the president of the company wanted it (no one should get a perfect score). 5.)Marketing dept does not know what they are doing, again no long term plan. 6.) Field staff ripping company off and no one in management cares. 6.)IT in the company is so backward (need to bring the company infrastructure into the 21st Century) 7.)People promotoed to positions of management just because they "know" or "married" certain employees. And don't let the understanding that the company is under the FDA rules, of course they are but.....they try to hide things from the FDA. When there seems to be an inspection from the FDA, management goes into a tizzy.. they have meetings warning employees not to talk to FDA auditors and to only direct them to only to 1 person, so no one lets that cat out of bag.
