CooperSurgical Reviews

Extremely hierarchical, and the leadership team does not bring in the people necessary at the start (or middle, or end) of key projects, which likely is the cause for the unorganized strategic direction. Everyone I know who has left CooperSurgical said it was the best move they could have made, and those who still work there are eager to leave because it's "such a mess". Male leaders here are aggressive and make their teams feel uncomfortable (I saw this first hand - not my leader, but it was very apparent and witnessed), or they blatantly make sexist comments that wouldn't pass muster in any other professional organization. I was fortunate enough that the leaders I had didn't fall into these categories, though their passive leadership and myopic view of ensuring their success above all else allowed for these behaviours to perpetuate. It's no wonder this company is struggling - they don't empower their people, have terrible communication practices and create an environment where only a few thrive.

Management is horrible. Since they let the former president go, the company stopped caring about the people that work there. In 5 years, their stock went from $150 a share to $390 and they couldn't even afford to give their employees a decent raise, if any at all. Instead, they used Covid as an excuse. Meanwhile, the executives are giving themselves huge bonuses. Because you are pretty much on top of each other in tiny cubes with no walls, Covid spread through that place like wildfire. They have some departments spread so thin, it's nothing to work 15 hour days. And in many cases, the salaries are not in line with area average. I am so happy I left when I did. The company doesn't deserve to be as successful as it is.
