Analog Devices reviews

* Neverending shuffling of the structure of the company - ongoing for about 2 years on a monthly basis * Keeping track of who is under the CEO has become pointless (constant reorganization of the upper echelons) * Unrealistic goals by management to double the output with half the personnel * This company had one vision but the new management is greedy and does not care about the effort of its hard working employees * Tons of obstacles to execution created by a nonsensical process or lack of accountability on some departments * Fix-it-yourself kind of attitude - you literally have to learn to do everything on your own and delegation is just a dictionary term * Nobody onsite to provide a pen, a pencil or a binder - you have to buy it yourself and expense it * Too many applications and websites, too many things to track * Management pushes people with 10/20/30 years of experience out and then forces employees to cover the vacuum created by pushing them to do things outside of their title, expertise or interest * The neverending push on creating goals is a waste of time and a distraction imposed by management on people who already do way too much * Big clients get more greedy and management just lets them push on the people that actually do the job * Some teams are created and disbanded without much consideration of employees, some projects go overboard with unrealistic goals that do not take into account obstacles that are disseminated everywhere across teams * Training courses are a nuisance and a waste of time - nobody wants to do them or cares to do them * Maintenance is lazy and won't act unless you find a way to submit a ticket for getting the job done * Promotions are just something the company puts into verbage - even if you prove you are an excellent and productive employee, you never get promoted (one of the reasons for people leaving the company - why working hard for a long time and getting no recognition in return) * Getting bombarded by emails is totally counterproductive * Some people don't get the point of getting a room but rather talk loudly for up to an hour from their cubicle, arguing with their colleagues live - annoying and disrupting ... get a room! * Conference calls across continents should not be a regular thing - they should happen once in a while * Constantly downsizing destroys the core of the company to the point all the knowledge is gone and all you have left is vacuum * Pay lags compared to other companies where the same title will land 25-50k more in your bank account * Many former employees went to other big companies or those big companies were convincing enough when they showed the numbers (they know where the talent is, they recognize it, they compensate accordingly) * When you find out a problem, an issue, a situation with the process, even if you escalate it upwards, nobody will take accountability and fix it, even if it impacts the entire workforce * You see some people working 120% and others playing with their phones or playing videogames on their PC * Less and less RSUs are given - the company forces ESPP to sell discounted stocks to employees to keep the stock afloat and increase the NAV * This company has gone downhill since the latest acquisition and it does not look good for the near or long term

- They have No Increased Policy (No Salary Increase) / Performance Improvement Plan. Each group lead will rate their employees from highest to lowest, and the two lowest aka NI/PIP and Meets Most Expectation have no chance of getting promoted the following year no matter what you do. - Office politics are surreal. - Over workload, we lose 4 employees for 2 years they never once replaced any of them. - Some groups/teams won't allow engineers to render overtime because they're tied to their group budget, even if you're swamped with work to do. - PTO takes forever to get approval, and Managers can cancel the approved PTO anytime. You have to file a footprint every time to have your back pay, so your pay slip looks awful. If you live paycheck to paycheck well good luck on your recurring bills. - Managers have no boundaries even during off-office hours.
