No Work Life Balance

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

+ I learned a lot + Easy Access to VPs & Executive Office

Cons

- Work hours were from 7am - 9/10pm, including some holidays and some weekend work. After 18 months I approached my management to ask for some work life balance consideration. They said there was 'no opportunity for reducing the work hours' and in fact our team was to be doing 20-30% more the following year with the same resources. Around the same time I was offered a position with less pay but better work hours. I left NETGEAR - Money can't buy time.

Pros

Good benefit, different product line, good place to lean about network products, free drink, good food during the company events.

Old fashion management style, no product innovation, limited communication within groups, not a fun place to work. Stock option is worthless, they need to change it to vesting stock.
