Lack of Strategy, Long-term vision and high turnover

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

company has a distinguished alumni

Cons

- very high turnover of management - no longer term vision or strategy. When CEO was asked what's strategy he said "execution". Current CEO (2019) is operations guy with commodity semiconductor experience. Senior management is not technical at all. - High and constant turnover. none of the exec management have been with company more than few years. Most of revenue is from old patents else company would have folded a while back. new businesses are mostly non-profitable. Company does not have product development culture. slow motion train wreck. Not ethical.

Toxic place to work

Withheld

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

A lot of very talented people work there.

Cons

The leadership lacks cohesion, vision and accessibility. The org structure is ineffective, resources are insufficient and misallocated, and chauvinism is pervasive. Toxic place to work, where people work their butts off in hopes of recognition and improved status, but very few get properly supported or rewarded, and the majority burn out and leave. All of this is especially true of the engineering group. It's a patent house and should stick to what it does best. Also, very little perks and infrastructural support for employees, no cafeteria, out-to-lunch HR department, no clear source of truth for HR processes.
