Topcon Positioning Systems Reviews

Zero ability to manage toward goals hidden by a fluffy stream of "initiatives" without any attempt at follow-through (you'd think a golf-nut would know better!). Everything is merely to protect the illusion of success with customers and within internal cliques. Have bamboozled the ISO-9000 auditors for years and consequently have built a house of cards. The management structure has evolved into a haphazard amalgam of silos, with feudalistic mangers each protecting their "turf" at the expense of the whole. Directors exhibiting completely dysfunctional behavior are coddled and rewarded despite inflicting enormous damage on the institutions and individuals committed to proper governance. A battleground of megalomaniacs shouting, backstabbing, and working secret deals to the detriment of customers and employees alike. DON'T COME TO WORK HERE UNLESS YOU ARE INDEPENDENTLY WEALTHY AND POSSESS THE INSTINCTS OF A PIT VIPER AND THE IMMUNITY OF AN IMMORTAL GOD - or you won't last with your optimism or your humanity intact..

Where to start....make no mistake, the other reviews are correct about the CEO. He rules as a feudal king. He is egotistical and is coddled by his inner circle. Don't be the one who suggests the emperor has no clothes....it's off with your head. The realities of the company vs what is projected, is truly night-and-day. Topcon will chew you up and spit you out. The lifestyle is brutal. The political infighting is like a high school. The Sr. VPs are either pushovers or bullies and the blood sport is supported by the King....I mean CEO. In many ways, this company is hanging by a thread. There are a few people who keep it together, but that is no way to innovate and grow in the marketplace. Also, the compensate is sub-par.
