Welcome to Hell

Pros

A Pay Check. And nice Gym if you have time to work out.

Cons

No Work/life balance at all. "Welcome to Hell" is what I will say to all new hires. Some departments may have an easier life with normal work load, but they start to lay off people in those departments. Most divisions in Durham campus are the worst. Managers yell at employee and force them "do whatever it takes" to fix this, complete that. Very high turnover. Lots of employee with skills and healthy personality left the company, and the rest are looking for opportunities. Company made lots of stupid decisions recently from upper management, making Cree keep missing quarter goals. But those managers wouldn’t miss a single penny in their pay check, instead, employees get laid off to pay the mistake.

Pros

Great technology. Nice cafeteria. Opportunity to change the world.

Cons

Cree leadership considered people expendable. The motto "Cree is we" was almost a lie - you don't have the right to question or discuss senior leadership decisions (and if you do you get yelled at and risk being sidelined or fired). Terrible work/life balance. The Cree culture was used as an excuse by most senior leadership to treat people disrespectfully. Women largely not respected. Senior leadership behaved like they were smarter than everyone and refused to listen. No career growth opportunities because the company only lived quarter to quarter. Highly stretched resources with few or no systems. Old boys club of the same people making the same moves and treating people badly was the order of the day. It was a soul crushing place with a revolving door of staff.

Pros

A great place to grow technically. A lot of very smart people.

Cons

A lot of politics. Especially among middle management to senior. I get the feeling it is encouraged in engineers as well.
