Politics Wins - R&D Engineer Edwards Lifesciences Employee Review

I am not sure any company has more of a political environment than Edwards. The only way to make your way up is to suck up to your manager. If they know you technical knowledege is more than them or you have any better ideas on any matter, not only are you not appreciated but also they will do anything to demote you. It doesn’t matter how hard you work; the only thing management considers is if you are in the inner circle or not and that only occurs if you can play the game and fake it by sucking up to management. I’ve worked for multiple companies and this is the worst work experience and work environment I’ve experienced.
