Pros

Decent benefits, 401K match, nice holiday schedule

Cons

The company's financials are dismal with little prospect for improvement. Management is a mix of old Siemens & GTE dinosaurs still using the playbook from the last century. At my location every manager is from Alfred University, they all worked here & nowhere else forever, they all pass the buck & not one of them takes any responsibility for anything that happens here. The pay is low & raise suck. There was profit sharing but we are losing money so no soup for you this year! Real management is remote in Austria-Germany. They have something like 100 vacation days there because they are always "away" when you need them. They must keep this location because they like lobster or something? We are more of a commodity business than you would think so there is little investment in equipment or people. People come in looking to improve things and find out no one will support their efforts so they leave. In response to high turnout, management has just become meaner. I was hoping to win Powerball last night so I could buy the company & fire all the managers, then this company might have a chance! This place sucks if you work in the US. AVOID!

Stable company. Relax working environment. Good medical benefit.

No increment for 2 years. Benefits are reduced. A lot of non value added long procedures even to get a simple thing done. Frequent reorganisation every year.

Dear colleague, Thank you for taking the time to give us feedback about your former position as a division R&D controller in Dallas. It is great to see that you appreciate our efforts in terms of flexible working times. We support remote working where possible and see this as part of our culture of trust. However, you also mention some criticisms. Our vision is to become the uncontested leader in optical solutions. To achieve this goal, we are currently analyzing synergy and optimization potential within our organization. For us, it is also very important to secure good communications with our colleagues and to ensure continual feedback. If you have further feedback or ideas on how we as a company can improve in this respect, please let me know: Katrin.Klug-Jud@ams-osram.com. Kind regards, Katrin Klug-Jud HR Communication / Social Media Manager
