Wolfspeed Process Development Engineer II reviews

Restructuring, management misalignment, mass layoffs

Overestimated demand of electric vehicle market and cost people their jobs in Durham, NC. Taxed employees severance package at maximum rate and laid many of them off suddenly right before the holidays. Over emphasis on DEI caused lots of aspects of the business to suffer. Response to COVID was shallow and stupid as the company did whatever the government told it to, at one point it tried to get employees to wear three layers of masks and even threatened unvaccinated employees with the need to pay for tests to prove they were negative after they learned that individuals with the vaccine could still get and spread Covid prompting several discrimination inquiries. Lied about holiday compensation on several occasions.
