Wolfspeed reviews

Pay and annual raises continue to lag behind similar tech companies in the area, and combined with the lack of active knowledge management leads to a fair degree of brain drain and stagnation. Benefits used to be pretty good but are now about standard and require some jumping through hoops. Compartmented, apathetic, and frequently shuffling mid to upper management make the rank and file both nervous and disinterested while devaluing the supposed core principles. "Cree is we" used to be a joke because it sounded silly. Now it just sounds like Orwell's "All animals are equal."

Managers and engineers are disconnected from workers. Shift schedule (3-2-2-3 or 4-3-3-4) is hard on family life. Company had the best revenues in it's recent history (5-10yrs), but were overspending. Bonus program is a joke, most quarterly bonus's were missed, and yearly bonus was about $300. Company moto (Cree is WE) is far from the truth. The "WE" is senior management is the only thing that matters. No possibility for advancement if your an operator or technician. They like to hire from outside the company as much as possible now.
