Wolfspeed reviews

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.

No matter how much time you put in or how much you contribute to the team, you can be fired without warning. DEI and Inclusivity trumps all meaningful work. We have "marginalized" employees who do nothing all day and still get larger raises. They are inept and incapable of doing their jobs. I worked there for two years and learned a lot but nothing pertaining my role except what was directly needed. If you get hired on nights, go back to school and get your bachelors or do remote work for another company. You will have enormous amounts of downtime that you can either waste or use to your advantage. Training is nigh nonexistent. You will teach yourself nearly everything. Apparently that's not an issue though because you can pass the buck to the next shift over and over again. Everyone is either extremely experienced or entirely new to the semiconductor field. Expect to be the singular technician for your shift and department. Expect there to be no real expectations for you. Expect there to be no direction. Expect to see leadership flip-flop repeatedly on the direction of projects.
