Rohde & Schwarz reviews

I enjoy working here for the above reasons. But, as with any organization, there is room for improvement. The Cons listed here are from one person's point-of-view. I work in a support role (read non-sales, non-service technician role) and am frequently overlooked. I'm pretty burned out and am staying here simply because there isn't anywhere to go (yet). I still do my job with dedication and passion (that is how I have always tried t work) but because of the Cons lited below, I am entertaining offers to leave Rohde & Schwarz. So, in no particular order, the Cons as I see it at Rohde & Schwarz at Corporate HQ (I will update this review if things significantly change before I leave the company). - Advancement is slow to non-existent - Some managers "protect" certain employees -Staffing in support functions is inadequate (non-sales related) - Burn-out becoming more common - good employees looking elsewhere to further career since the promotion come only to a select few - Recognition doesn't follow achievement - it follows self-promotion - If you area conscientious, hard-working employee, you will be exploited. You will have more work than you ever imagined piled on you. - Work-life balance very difficult to impossible to maintain

The boss either likes you or doesn't and that is decided in the first 30 minutes. He didn't like me which made build up some tension. I couldn't work for I was paid for and I got tasks assigned which should be done by youngsters. Boss was very smart to avoid anything in a written form which could provide some proof. A handful of coworkers resigned at the same time because they couldn't bear it anymore.
