Poorly Organized. Not clear with the future goals

Technical support engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good bonus in past 3-4 years. Big cubicles at the most work locations.

Cons

Video Business Unit: now a part of Velocix. Not clear with the future goals. Business Unit had 3 re-organization happening in 1 year. Can't rely on work visa /green card sponsorship commitments, even if they start the process. It would be super slow. Most of the people are with the company for more than a decade ( former ALU, DSC) not because its good place to work at but because the job is relaxed. Good place to work at if you want to enjoy semi retirement work life.

Every third Thursday is a RIF in North America

Senior product manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

-Our CEO and Chairman have a good vision and execute. -Networking products are market leading -Good benefits

Cons

Since you are always fearful of a reduction in force, it causes real trust issues between the staff and management. The US has had nonstop RIF’s since 2014 and being a normal company doesn’t appear on the horizon. Competitive salaries only applies to new hires, once you are in - don’t expect any increases. As a manager, I am given no budget to give increases —even to my best employees.
