Would not work here again. Pay is too low, most people are self centered and not friendly. Supervisors and managers work from home too much and rarely communicate or check in. Also, co-workers know this and show up to work extremely late and leave early while clocking in & out from home. Unethical!!
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
It can't be improved unless the CEO Patrick Lo is replaced and the culture changes to one that is positive, takes all employees into account and stop treating contractors like second class workers who are not appreciated.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Stop- having so many meetings, promote excellent, hard working team members to higher level positions instead of only recruiting outside contacts and friends of other executives & board members. Nepotism & hiring employees on work visas from China and India is not a good thing. Pay higher wages.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Everything but no one cares. Higher ranking managers & supervisors could care less about lower level employees. Some wouldn't even have a conversation or listen to my ideas. Was eager to do more but no one took me seriously. Was told to just do my work. Also, no wonder recruiters poach from NETGEAR.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Because they pay some of the lowest wages to employees & would rather use contractors & workers in the Philippines & India instead of hiring local employees. Also, no bonus in 2 years & an unlimited PTO program that requires you to "check in" or work while on a vacation. Otherwise, no paid time off.
