A lot of uncertainties and angry associates - Research Scientist W. L. Gore & Associates Employee Review

Exciting place to start an engineering career. Exceptional internal trainings and mentorship/sponsorship program. Technology focused company with many interesting products and the ability to grow within the company. It is fun to work here. Good work life balance.

Underperformance is tolerated, which often means others have to pick up the slack. Pay increases could have been higher. Younger talent leaves because of this. Leadership changes and loss of Gore culture.

Vacation and sick time, holidays

Don't believe anything about the culture it's long gone and dead. Leader is just another name for Boss your leader is your boss an they decide on your development and compensation. Micromanagement is the norm and you need to jump through hoops to fill out a performance plan and it must have measurable matrix for your compensation and you can be a high performer an go above an beyond an you get the same 3.15% as someone that does bare minimum and they tout the profit share and stock but it does not cover cost of living an you can't touch the stock for years. They pay drastically less than current market assessment. Constantly doing reorgs and cutting jobs you are in constant stress of is your position the next to be cut. New term is 80/20 which they are using to justify cuts since only 20% of the products make 80% of the business so they cut anything that doesn't make up 80% or top 20% of business and touting 3x which is 3x revenue growth and 3x the profit. At the expense of the associates. You have leaders that do not know the business leading some very knowledgeable associates that are under paid and they carry the team while the leader gets all the credit along with a hefty salary. Not to mention the class action and the state of Maryland lawsuits. The cover up of asec complaints, and unethical an immoral conduct amoung leaders an associates. Think long an hard about joining and read up on all the negative reviews they speak volumes.
