Pros

Gym on site Company shuts down over the holidays

Cons

Lack of leadership and paralysis in management decision making has led to a total breakdown in employee morale. Layoffs are expected on a quarterly basis leading to complete disengagement of employees. Most of the younger people are hoping for a severance package in the next round of layoffs and the older people are just hoping to hold out until their retirement kicks in. Murky horizon for new R&D projects and declining sales in vascular products has squeezed out much of the talent in all divisions of the company. Hierarchical structure of company coupled with highly politicized in-fighting between groups has eliminated project collaboration and restricted innovation. The attitude throughout management is a complete lack of accountability for the direction of the company.

Pros

Large corporate business with great products but a terrible internal rec team. I pity the applicants.

Cons

It was good when I first started here but a new manager and team members who are incompetent has made me wish to move on. It is difficult to work in what is a great office, some great colleagues and products and a great story to tell and have to put up with two faced colleagues. One,, a supposed x recruiter has adopted so many faces that I was constantly unsure where I stood and realised this individual was just a very two faced individual better suited to running a chip shop than being the outward face of a brilliant brand.

Pros

Working with physicians and patients to improve visual health. AMO's products are as good a quality as any in the inductry. Their field sales force is also a top quality, customer-focused group, dedicated to excellence and patient outcomes.

Cons

The field sales force has been badly neglected! No competitive marketing team, an uncompetitive comp plan and middle/upper management that is not respected as they "lead" with fear and threats on a daily basis. Most of the sales force is unhappy and actively looking to bail out of AMO for a healthier work environment.
