Vitrolife AB reviews about "employee"

Employee friendly, understanding leadership, friendly environment, well educated colleagues

Since the new CEO took over almost two years ago, the company’s overall performance has clearly declined. The leadership team she brought in e.g. sales & marketing and strategy are lacking essential leadership competence and technical understanding. The CEO has made many poor strategic decisions. This is especially visible in Marketing and sales and R&D or what is now called “innovation,” even though there is very little or no real innovation happening. Many resources appear to be underutilized, and instead of collaboration within leadership there is often tension and a lack of trust and integrity, which ironically are supposed to be part of the company’s core values. This affects decision-making and the overall direction of the company. The work environment has also become much more difficult and discouraging compared to when the previous CEO was leading the company. In addition, the R&D organization in Sweden has largely been dismantled, with most activities moved to Denmark, resulting in a loss of valuable local expertise and knowledge. Many competent employees have already left the company, and many new hires do not stay longer than a few months. These challenges are also visible in the company’s market performance and stock level.

Even with everything going wrong at the top, there are still a lot of great people in the company who actually care and know what they’re doing. The problems aren’t hidden—everyone can see exactly what’s broken so fixing things wouldn’t be a mystery if better leaders stepped in. With the right people in charge, the place could turn around fast because the talent and potential are already there.
