Pros

Nothing. The work and the people's ethics do not align to being "professional".

Cons

These leaders from the Quality Department do not put value to what the engineers do and continuously compare that technicians can do their tasks. They can say it because they, as managers, instruct the technicians to their "legwork". Nothing against the technicians but there is still a fine line between the analytical skills of an engineer who took their time to study in school and apply it to the company's demands. Not only do these "managers" lowkey-degrade the morale of the engineers but also, it's not engaging to continuously rub it to the engineers every meeting. Plus, it's not enticing for an engineer who works well if the boss does not even see the value and even gives that kind of remarks to the higher bosses. If that's how they think, why not just hire technicians and watch their team slowly fall on risks and poor quality. I cannot blame the manager if he, himself, cannot do an engineering analysis as well. 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

A Sinking Ship

Pros

Some very talented technical staff are still around while they are pushed out the door Opportunity to develop skills since you will be expected to carry the weight of incompetent management and staff Great place if you want to do nothing and collect a paycheck Good motivation to separate sense of personal achievement from your professional work life since your career will wither Good work/life balance, the place is a ghost town after 3pm or on Fridays and you can come in as late as you want because management isn't there either

Cons

Management is awful and short sighted - if it isn't the way it's currently done then it's clearly not a good idea The only ideas supported are those that management comes up with Non-competitive salary with no incentive structure and profit sharing that depend on success that will never be achieved (no bonus) It is impossible to get even simple experiments done - things get lost or mishandled all the time There is little to no money available for the investments, equipment, and headcount needed for real improvements or success They did an internal poll for morale and found management rated terribly, so their solution was to get worse and no longer poll for opinions

Dear former colleague, Thank you for taking the time to review your former position as engineer at ams OSRAM in Exeter, New Hampshire. We appreciate your recognition of the talented technical staff and the opportunities for skill development. However, we are deeply concerned about the challenges you've highlighted, especially regarding management, salary structure, and operational efficiency. This, as well as your description of the office situation and the general atmosphere are aspects we aim to improve going forward. We value clear and direct communication, and genuinely believe in creating a conducive and rewarding atmosphere for all our employees. As we continuously aim to enhance our work environment and address areas of concern, your critique and proposal are invaluable to us. For any further feedback or detailed discussions, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me: Katrin.Klug-Jud@ams-osram.com. We wish you all the best for your future!
