Evergen Reviews

Every review stating an Us and Them mindset is correct. From the first week, direct line managers did not want anything to do with you. Made you feel unwanted and unwelcomed. There was such a strong communication disconnect between departments it makes you want to put a head through the wall. One person would be told something in passing and that was considered "department communication" Health and Safety...No one is saying it but the place had none. Former Health and Safety advisor was abysmal, preferred focusing on seemingly random objectives and disregarding genuine concerns. Not to mention uncomfortable... It begs the question why so many people have stayed for so long? I personally think they were comfortable doing a sub-par job...Raising issues with processes to managers which were disregarded at the time and later became problems. "Why was this not raised at the time?". Ignorance is Bliss. Individuals were seemingly given promotions out of necessity rather than them being fit to do the job. The constant influx of American Executives being flown out for a pizza party, to mispronounce the city what was the point? This place is better off closed down.

Cons? Where do I start?! The concept of the organisation is outstanding - if ran correctly it could make a huge difference to end of line users. However, most of the “products” were still in infant stages of development. Processes were determined by people outwith the manufacturing floor. Colleagues in the team would ostracise new members if they wouldn’t adhere to silly playground tactics, such as referring to people with bullying nicknames. The manufacturing team could not be trusted to run a bath. Clean room was not fit for purpose, though led to believe it’s been refurbished. Two “team leaders” more interested in talking about fantasy trading card games and outside politics than establishing a team environment. Training was none existent. Essentially told to read SOP’s and get on with tasks. And if errors were made everyone would gleefully make you aware and again further ostracise you. No matter how many years’ experience of manufacturing you have, you’ll be lost in the shuffle of post graduates attaining roles they have no clue about. Health and safety? What Health and Safety? Place is a disaster, HSE would have a field day.
