Operations Specialist at Masimo
in Irvine, CA

Please give us a one liner to describe this review.

"Take the good with the bad...it's a job"

What do you like about working at Masimo?

"Innovation at Masimo is amazing! Cutting edge technology and product lines. Pay is great and most people are great to work with."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Be prepared to be interviewed by managers or peers that really lack the knowledge or experience to be sitting across the table from you. Again, only know Ops area. So if you're in manufacturing or quality...good luck as these areas are the worst, procurement is good, but some of the people are hard to deal with. Warehouse only uses a temps."

What don't you like about working at Masimo?

"Office politics/ agendas and a severe lack of effective leadership. There are more titled managers and directors than staff, so you have an issue where everyone is a manager or director and nothing gets done. Senior management is incapable of sound decision making, more interested in creating their own empires. If you cross the wrong person- your career there is done. Only area in Ops that seems happy or works as a team, is the supply chain and warehouse areas, the management appear to have a clue, not so for the most of Ops. Not sure about other departments - although Engineering runs Masimo."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Put the egos down, roll up the sleeves and let the talent you have lead their areas and make decisions and then hold them accountable."

What don't you like about working at Packet Fusion?

Operations Specialist at Illumina
in San Diego, CA

Please give us a one liner to describe this review.

"It was the most horrible environment I was ever a part of."

What do you like about working at Illumina?

"The team I worked with directly was great. We supported each other as best we could in what was a degrading, political mismanaged horrible workplace"

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Pass this place up. You will be expected to work way beyond full time hours and the reward will only be that you get to keep your job (you may even be told this, regardless of whether you are a good or bad employee). This place treats people like objects, and your career will see no benefit unless you are a political brown noser."

What don't you like about working at Illumina?

"Company is top-heavy run by political hacks with no real skill. Hard work and quality will get you nowhere, and kissing up is the only way to move up here. Zero regard for one's personal life and unethical treatment of employees who are not in executive management or sales."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Revamp the entire structure. You have created a toxic environment that is nothing more than a perversion of what the company once stood for. Your employment base resents you and with good reason. Be accountable for the horrible decisions and negligance that you are directly responsible for. Reign in sales, they are out of control and unbelievably unethical."
