Would be a good place to work if everything wasn't so disorganized

Rf engineer (senior)

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great health benefits and tuition reimbursement. Decent pay. Lots of training opportunities. Working for a market leader in an exciting field.

Cons

Lots of inexperienced and unqualified people in key positions create major bottlenecks. Complete lack of accountability. Disorganized and chaotic. Very focused on being perceived as being good at what they do not so much on the reality.

Not bad at all, but internal politics kills motivation and drive, and internal processes sometimes truly frustrating

Sales manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great place with offices and opportunities truly global/worldwide Colleagues/peers are the best in the business A fair amount of freedom if you happen to end up under a good and trusting manager Solid products - due to long development times Large and stable customers - providing stability if the organization is successful in secruing new business

Cons

Internal politics and a small "favored" gang can really hinder the motivation and drive out among the masses. Internal IT systems a disgrace for a technology company Less and less regard for senior knowledge. Company is actively pushing out (even very skilled) people when they are getting into their 40s.
