How we view KCI today

As a current employee there is no question we see KCI as going the same direction as Circut City, Kodak, American Arilines and Enron. This place is just a total nightmare.
 




I have been here over 7 years and quite honestly I wish I left 5 years ago. It is a sinking ship and thankfully I have just accepted another gig on Friday.

Years ago it was a good place to work for. Now everytime I speak to someone in my district, we talk about interviewing and leaving -- which everyone is doing!
 






I've been with the company 6 years----5 years of that were good to great. I'm outta here soon. Too sad----it seems like the present management is trying to make the company implode.

Out of touch with reality, out of time to make a change, and no longer setting the lead in wound care. That's my view

I believe the mission statement changed after being floated to APAX and Canadian Pensioners. Reality, change and leadership come well after cutting costs, assets and design on a dime for a future sale. All with fairly little financial risk to APAX.
 






Made the top 10 medical device layoff list:
The truth is probably somewhere in the middle, but that likely provides little comfort to the thousands of employees facing down pink slips as a result of the ongoing layoffs announced this year. For some companies, like Kinetic Concepts, the job cuts are the result of*divestures and shuffling priorities. Others, like Welch Allyn, say the layoffs are solely to offset the cost of the tax. Either way, the medical device industry has hit a transitional period, and its workforce is feeling the pinch of the resulting uncertainty. -- Damian Garde*(Twitter | email)

Yeah, that always happens with growth companies. When the growth slows or stops they have to let people go. Same with pharma when a patent expires. Big layoffs always happen with big well run medical companies. Maybe they will get a new product and hire lots of people
 














You better believe KCI-3M is hiring. Tons of positions, no quotas and no territories mapped out. It’s a dream job.
****plus discouraged not to oversell anything to disrupt the 3m stock price.
