      Big on ambition, poor execution - GMC-2 Johnson Matthey Employee Review

      Pros

      Basically a company that's making products we all need. Brilliant science, applied well; we make stuff that creates cleaner air, safer medicines, cheaper and more flexible energy solutions. Huge heritage- we know where we've come from and we're proud of it.

      Cons

      Lions led by donkeys, with a few exceptions. The leadership is, with a few exceptions, terrified of its own shadow. This then comes through as paranoid, knee-jerk micromanaging rage from certain GMC members downward. There are strong people who resist this, but sadly a great many who don't and simply pass that fearful aggression downward. This should be a great place to work, but isn't.

      Pros

      If you are lazy, this is the place for you

      Cons

      If you are somewhat competent, don’t worry, management doesn’t care. Employees are part of their politics game. From orders delay to customer complaints, management’s resolutions are to put in more tedious complicated system and lay off actual workers. Constant restructuring every 6 months with no idea what they want. Base pay is below average. Not sure why investors are still investing and why customers are still buying. I would give 0 star if I can.
