Okay

|
Its a small company so you get to wear a lot of hats.
|
Company Politics create a lot of tension amongst senior staff

An organization under construction.
|
|
People are great. Most people are committed to doing a good job everyday and are really cooperative. Organizationally the company has gone through some turbulence with management changes and regulatory issues - but, in general a pretty good place to work for a small to medium size manufacturer. Reasonable pay, benefits, time off allowances and holiday pay.
|
Current engineering team is young and somewhat inexperienced in product development so the organization is surviving on their sustaining product lines. Regulatory staff is too small and lacks vision. Limited plans to embrace the changes on the regulatory horizon for medical devices which results in outdated SOP's , limited training and lack of global leadership. Don't look for female leaders in any of the technology groups you won't find them! MicroAire is behind the times when it comes to gender equality and diversity so it is a bit of a boys club. Especially with regards to the management teams.

Embrace the changing times! Be more proactive with training and changes in the industry. Figure out what's broken in the area of product development and introduce some new technology. Our old products may be good - but our competitors are passing us by.

HR and Mgt told us to write a positive review!
|
|
Easy to coast. BS your way through repetitive meetings! Buzz words and sound bites will serve you well.
Good benefits
|
Incompetence at the highest level! HR are unable to keep confidentially. Toxic culture.
Firing employees will not improve the company culture when you continue to promote and listen to those who are the problem

Risk Averse. Regulatory Compliance and QA have choked new product development — but they do it right, so maybe that's just the price of compliance

Rudderless ship
|
|
Good General Manager, but sadly he was replaced by someone who was vastly underqualified. Excellent support from associate product manager in Charlottesville.
|
It became a rudderless ship - Absolutely no leadership from the top - VP, HR, new General Manager - Just a blame shifting culture, all smoke and mirrors to keep themselves safe. No investment in new products, no investment in current products - a company floundering trying to keep up with the contenders, but with no ammunition, strategies or knowledgeable leadership

A New MicroAire
|
|
MicroAire is an ambitious mid-sized manufacturing company in a tough competitive space (medical devices). After some changes at the senior management level, that ambitious spirit endures but it's now focused on doing what we do best even better. We had reached a point where our ambitions outpaced our ability to execute with precision. In a highly competitive environment, you need to be clear about your goals. We're starting to get that sense of clarity back.
|
The atmosphere is a little volatile at the moment. As we narrow our focus, it's sometimes unclear what the endgame is. The enormous effort to reposition the company has taken senior management's focus off of building/maintaining a healthy company culture, which was a priority under previous management. Tangentially, there seems to be a massive disparity in salary amongst even similar positions/experience.

Rember that for a company to truly be successful, it's employees at every level need to feel like they're a part of the plan, not just part of the machine aimed at executing the plan.

A great company!
|
|
MicroAire is a great company to work for, even with some recent changes that have taken place. I am proud to work here and be part of this dedicated team of employees. I’ve worked for good companies before but none have been as fulfilling, nor have they had such a noticeably friendly and committed culture as I’ve found with this company. Everyone I work with cares and respect one another like family, works together as a team, and works with dedication to the common goal… as if it were their own company. Besides the great culture they have created at MicroAire, it is satisfying to work for a company that makes innovative surgical tools and surgical equipment that are used throughout the world, improving surgeon and patient outcomes.
|
Okay, so it is not all flowers and sunshine. There has been a lot of hard and intensive work going on over the past year to completely overhaul the quality management system – and certainly it has been draining on many. The overhaul was long overdue and had to be done. And most recently, the company just went through a change with the structure/segmentation of the business, which unfortunately resulted in some very competent, top of the line employees being let go. Everyone is just settling in with the changes and working through the adjustment period, but the caring and connected team spirit remains. There remains a lot of hard work ahead but this company still gets my vote for a great company to work for.

Committed, knowledgeable employees who really care for each other
Great products that help people
Continuous improvement culture

No vision for the future - accountants have taken control
Cronyism at its worst
Back to the future - undoing 8 years of progress, back to a failed model
Good people being laid off to make accountants happy
