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

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).

Pros

Good location of campus in San Jose. No other pros.

Cons

If I could give 0 stars then I would but I cant. Terrible pay and benefits. Pay is way below market value for some. No good career growth opportunity, no perks, laid off for no good reason and barely any notice given while lay off. Hardly any severance given. 2 weeks for every year that employee is employed with the company. After lay-off, no update from HR regarding next steps. Don’t know how the company is functioning. I would not recommend anyone to work here
