Recognition. Paid fairly for role and continuous increased responsibility
RUN AWAY. The mission of Cochlear is great, but the management makes it difficult to do your job and rarely provides positive feedback. The mental and physical strain from excessive travel required paired with bullying and poor treatment from management is too taxing. Pay is low for medical device.
There is a very toxic environment and employees are bullied and talked down to constantly. No matter how hard you work, it is never enough. The disrespect with which employees who are highly educated and uniquely skilled are spoken to is disheartening.
The cause is great, however company politics are horrible, pay is below average and people don't get acknowledged. Don't expect to get a pay rise. They let good and experienced people go like nothing just to replace them by cheaper, new, unexperienced people. Don't expect to get promoted quickly.
