High Turnover, Not Recommended - Anonymous employee Endologix Employee Review

Turnover is extremely high, resulting in very little historical product and process knowledge. Employees are treated as a moveable resource headcount and moved around as needed by management, and because of this, there is no talent /career development. Toxic environment. There is no focus on developing a pleasant company culture. People are always blaming others and throwing departments/people under the bus. New comers keep joining and trying to revolutionize the way things are done, which results in a very unstable environment. Work load is very high and stressful. Processes and systems are cumbersome and designed for a large company with more resources, which prevents even small tasks from being accomplished quickly. Engineers are not empowered to think freely, problem solve, or lead projects. Very few things can be completed at the Engineering peer level. Everything has to be signed off by a Manager or above. Politics are a huge obstacle. Favoritism is rampant. Management tries to undermine other departments by refusing to approve or sign off on things until what they want done is accomplished. Operations is completely mismanaged with little / no concern for product quality. The concern is always cost over the patient. Priorities are constantly changing. Projects are not well-planned. The teams are constantly cutting corners to cut costs. Management is not transparent and does not properly communicate their vision (if any).
