Business Outlook

Pros

- Good place to work with excellent colleagues - Work life balance is good - Job stability (many people stay at the company for a long time) - Interesting projects - Excellent implementation of Agile methodology - Good pay and benefits

Cons

- Management are irrationally reluctant to let people work from home, even in the middle of a deadly pandemic. They make you come into the office even though you're not allowed to talk to anyone and have to dial into every meeting anyway because meeting rooms are closed. - The appraisal system is done by imposing arbitrary quotas of "above average" "average" and "below average" performers.

Pros

there are no pros for this employer

Cons

maximizing profit with no compromises is all. CEO is deciding everything. Management is just a reporting function. Customers, Partners and Employees are not respected in any way

Worked in OSD less than a year. Can any one work here longer than a year?

Business Outlook

Pros

RSUs Vest quarterly. 100% up to 6% 401k match. Very flexible time off and relaxed atmosphere.

Cons

Constant scorched earth lay-offs. They bought back the fibre optic module team to form OSD then laid off 50% of R&D. Management does not care about quality control. All decisions are driven by the bottom line and Fiscal year Nov, 1. If you company is acquired they will do it after the annual RSU refresh cut-off date NOV 1 so you wont be up for an RSU refresh for over a full year (if you make it that long).
