Extron Electronics reviews

HR- hands down the reason this company struggles to hire the best people and retain them. Intimidating relentless and not looking out for employee welfare. Ability to misconstrue every conversation email message looking to VPs - seem to have a god complex. Company is tyrannically run and micromanaged making for a very hostile work environment. Time clocks and strict adherence to meeting and exceeding 80 hours. Employees so worried they keep track themselves so they are not called in to discuss performance No advancement opportunities so most people look to put in a few years and leave

- Everything you read is true. When I accepted the position, I didn't think the HR policies would apply to engineers... and was sorely mistaken. There are so many legends about HR policies that half of the fun of working there was finding the workers who'd worked for 10+ years and getting to know the gossip. - 100% of junior engineers have no previous working experience. This facilitates the bizarro culture. Exclusively hiring from within furthers the cause, but even after working in the company for 5+ years, advancement is dependent brown-nosing. - I wasn't given a reason for being let go (legal reasons?), but this is what I can recall being brought up in prior performance reviews: ----Forgot to clock in 2 times in the same week. ----Not clocking in and out to use the restroom. ----Using smart phone to answer work emails, while at work. You read that right. ----Emailing the training course instructor without explicit managerial permission. ----Having a beard (and not a goatee)
