Not too good for good people

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible work schedule, good vacation policy (none). Pay is not bad, but increases do not seem to be tied to results.

Cons

Management is micromanaging (pun intended) senior people, annual reviews are ridiculously short, good advice is often ignored, bad advice is often accepted.

Good for engineer careers but not for creative designer opportunity

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Nice to learn lots about graphic cards technology and game related products - Company has good branding and marketing area, niche marketing direction. - Good branding/naming value for your next job - Good for engineers, since it is engineer oriented working environment as CEO has engineer background - Especially tech/product demo engineers are well treated since company is focusing(spending money) on many conference and events

Cons

- Top to bottom micro-management from CEO, designers can't design that much(no need creativity that much) - Not flexible to transfer from one department to another(especially for mid-level employees) due to power games in-between departmental managers - Not healthy working environment: Employees seldom trust each other when they work together so always being suspicious attitude to other employees. - Lower salary than other Bay companies - LACK OF COMMUNICATION FROM TOP TO BOTTOM AND TOO MUCH OF PLAN OF RECORD CHANGES
