Pros

They have decent insurance thats it.

Cons

Over worked under paid compared to similar positions in the area. Terrible work life balance due to the end of every quarter u end up having generally 3 days off in the entire month and working fr 14 days straight the last week of the quarter into the first week of the next quarter then they end up giving you have a week off the week after that so all that extra money you got from the over time you have to save up or ull be broke from having half a week off work. Management at all levels minus one or 2 of them are incompetent and willing to fire people for literally anything even if you weren't involved in the situation if you have worked there for any legnth of time be worried for your job because Cree doesn't want to pay you all those raises you've earned over the years and will find any excuse to let you go.

Pros

Recent culture as an up-and-comer, disrupting a stalwart industry through aggressiveness and innovation.

Cons

Past "cowboy culture", while resulting in "hyper growth" for several years, involved ragged attention to quality, process, and culture, which has now caught up to Cree. Throughout 2016 and through at least mid-2017, the company is facing significant revenue headwinds and new competitive pressures that are resulting in major share loss. As a result, the company has repeatedly downsized its workforce and is layering management with outsides who will change the culture from innovation to bureaucracy. High turnover, high burnout environment these days.
