Vantaggi
There is nothing good to be said about this company whatsoever. I'm glad I left when I did.
Svantaggi
Management/Supervisor bullying is rife throughout the company. Managers use intimidation and, as I experienced, regular threats of disciplinary action which were completely unjustified and unwarranted, in relation to any difference of opinion or if there was a project delay however trivial. Favoritism, nepotism and I would definitely go as far as "cronyism" is a pandemic issue throughout the organisation. Technical support staff are treated appallingly throughout the company and are expected, and in cases demanded, to work excessive amounts of overtime - for no compensation whatsoever (monetary or time-in-lieu) - and to almost impossible and aggressive deadlines with no support/resources. The management spiel is that everything "needs to be done now!" In terms of equipment and resources for Technical staff to carry out their duties it was practically non-existent. In general, the company likes to go though the motions of "change" and "improvement " but management are completely resistant to this and uncooperative. Overall, Merit Medical left me questioning my career choice. There is also cliques among long term staff members there to the extent that all new members of staff are treated with disdain and ridicule, particularly if the new staff members are more qualified and experienced. There are also some staff members who are allowed far too much lee-way in relation to their behavior which, in any other respectable and professional company would result in their dismissal. My advice to anyone considering applying to Merit Medical is - don't!!
