Collaboration, cohesiveness, togetherness, mutual respect

Review from HR Dept · Posted 8 days ago

The company building has a good climate, good light, quality furniture, different areas for different ways of working. All colleagues from all kind of departments are helpful. Colleagues value the collaboration, the human interaction and the common thinking is end-to-end. We all contribute together.

Time to realize we do not have the proper leader. Cut our loses before it is to late.

Review from Sales Dept

Ever-changing strategies and global decision-making is not inclusive of all regions of the

Review from Sales Dept

My managers are not the best leader in this company. I would like more positive energy and room to negotiate and discuss.

Review from Finance Dept

Communication is key!! And every shift is lacking on it in production! It would be nice if everyone were given the change to get promoted instead of just giving the favorites chances to new promotions. Like I mentioned before, it's who you know and not what you know!

Review from Production & Warehouse Dept

Customer service needs more support from it's management team. That team needs to accept responsibility for dropping the ball and make up for it.

Review from Customer Excellence Dept

While we have the passion and the people, we are a bit removed from the customer expectations. As a result, our goals are unrealistic which in turn puts a lot of pressure on people

Review from Sales Dept

There is a lot of frustration within the employees that, even though we work a lot and we do a lot to improve our working style and processes, in the end we are still repeating the same mistakes and not really moving forward.

Review from Supply Chain Dept

WE NEED TO INNOVATE and not just catch up with the competition but be the new cutting-edge company that Medela once was. We are losing brand equity and shelf space in the retail environment so fast that it is scary.

Review from Sales Dept

I need my controller/manager to respect us professionally and not reject any suggestions and opinions we have. Especially for someone who has worked at Medela for a long time and has 7 years experience on how the company works.

Review from Finance Dept

management makes decisions that affect us, without our input.

Review from Customer Support Dept

Increase our salaries as I believe that would be a good start :)

Better approval process locally and better system, more appropriate resources and good staffing.

Review from Executive Dept

Too many priorites, too many meeting, too many reviews, too many power point slides, too many wait and see mentality leading to gaps and catch-ups when issues occurs.

Review from Marketing Dept

Better Work/Life Balance- Shorter hours

Review from Customer Excellence Dept

1) need innovative products that appeal to today's mothers; function is good, but style has not kept up with the times 2) SAP is still not functioning well after 2+ years; there is too much manual intervention required, it is till much less efficient than our previous ERP. This is VERY STRESSFUL

Review from Customer Excellence Dept

- reduce bureacracy - reduce processes - reduce # of meetings - get out of fat cat mode - become an agile and hungry company that wants to get things done (get out of the endless discussion mode and the neverending scope creep mode) - repair the bridge of trust between engineering + CTO

Review from Engineering Dept

Processes need to be improved. In the past months it was a lot of back and forth in many topics, which was really time consuming and also mentally challenging.

Review from Marketing Dept

We are totally unprepared for product issues - we need better contingency plans with our partners in production(molds, components) and have safety stock.

Review from Sales Dept

quick scrutiny and lack of prioritization, allowing the latest crisis to shift the day to day focus
