"We've been doing it this way for 30 years" - Anonymous employee ZOLL Medical Employee Review

This is not a place to work if you want to be inspired to make a difference. There are many managers who are still working there simply waiting to retire, and they will even tell you that. The only effort these managers put into work is to ensure they can keep doing things the same way until they reach retirement. Anytime a idea or change is mentioned that would require effort on their part it is met with "we've been doing it this way for 30 years so we're not going to change now". This dead weight keeps the company atmosphere and culture from thriving and as a result, it is a revolving door for young engineers. Approaching project and program managers for any reason is discouraged. They do not interact with associate level employees on their projects. Every decision is made by managers. If you are not a manager you are not trusted to make the decisions you were hired to make. You have to ask permission to do simple tasks. Also, two weeks vacation for the first five years is a "non-negotiable" company policy. The face that there was no exit interview demonstrates they don't care why people leave.
