Don't work here

Pros

Only pro of Cree is the location, but it's the worst company in the Triangle.

Cons

No work / life balance. They will work you to death and be glad when you quit so they can hire somebody who will work for less money. Pay was good when times were good but the good times are over. The stock has been down for a long time, no bonuses anymore. Cree Values tell you all you need to know about management's mindset. Fix things that are "stupid." Organization politics will be "crushed" (total lie by the way). Very negative and hateful upper and middle managers.

Pros

Performed well during the economic downturn, so instead of un/under-employeed I did have a job. On-site gym, cafe, xmas party, spring picnic.

Cons

Don't let any of the pros above fool you into going here. Managment (not just manufacturing management, ALL areas I was in FINANCE) is very much lacking. No people skills, no room for growth (salary, personally, professionally) with of course the exception of your job tasks. I stayed for about 3 years (through the recession, see PROS above) with no real increase in pay but my responsbilities grew monthly. Review process is a joke, you don't really get a job description just a "Do whatever it takes" instruction which in turn makes it easy for managment to nit-pick come review time in order to save $ on merit raises/bonuses. Also, why on earth would a C-level executive provide ANY MEANINGFUL feedback to an entry level employee during the annual review process? answer: MICROMANGEMENT; which is the name of the game here. Since leaving i've had family and friends comment that i'm an entirely new person. Understanding the longer hours if you're a revenue generating/production capacity but even in more admin related positions your manager will FIND things for you to do (NO VALUE ADDED) to make sure that you stay longer. Very little internal upward mobility in finance, and if you actually want to leave and go to another area you may get blocked from doing so (BY A C-Level employee mind you) on the basis that you need to improve in your current posiition (ABSOLUTELY no consideration as to what the employee seeks as far as job/professional growth). Now that the stock is in a downward spiral (people's vesting options are worthless, no reason to stay) you'll see plenty of jobs open here shortly. take my word for it (if possible) AND AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE EBOLA.

Pros

Great benefits, none better anywhere I have been. A bunch of good people, unfortunately working under directionless leadership, a vindictive and discriminatory management team with little to no chance to advance.

Cons

Leadership is a joke. Work life balance is a joke. If you are not pre-ordained to walk on the yellow brick road you might as well quit and go elsewhere. You will never advance in your career at Cree
