Engineer - Engineer Verb Surgical Employee Review

Verb has ballooned from 50 to 300 people in a very short period of time. What worked in a small start up and one building doesn’t work for 300 and 5 buildings. Process for everything is still manual and many divisions are so understaffed it’s comical. Yes there is a big hiring push but the writing was on the wall over a year ago and upper upper management didn’t listen and has created turmoil for not understanding R & D at this level. Verb has no chief engineer so the decision process for hard technical choices is a nightmare. And often the decision that gets made is not based on actual engineering work but who has the loudest voice and outlasts anyone else who dissents. When it comes to the different groups as stated a lot of the supporting groups receiving, purchasing, are just overworked and not able to utilize tools that are customary for companies at this size. If you see all the postings for quality positions. They better write you a big check because anyone with actual skills via business, engineering, or actual understanding of quality have actively gone way out of their way to get out of the group. Very clearly this is an upper management issue. In a group of 300 people you have VP levels butting into technical items they have no clue about putting undo pressure on working level who have been doing exactly what they were asked to do. Verbs state of the art technological push is being held up by a bunch of hard working level people expected to do miracles. Company is moving to South Bay and squirm anytime transportation assistance is brought up.
