Wolfspeed reviews

Long hours and not very flexible - must be available 24/7 Difficult to get vacation approved Not much room for advancement and limited career path discussions Difficult to move to other departments as all requests to apply to other positions require manager approval and they are often denied Not very female friendly, all upper management is male and it's a "good ole boy" atmosphere Management thoughts and ideas cannot be challenged

- Quality is a gesture, not a practice - Health insurance is abysmal - No longer provide employees stock incentives - They hemorrhage $200M-$300M a quarter, but think engineers taking their office trash out will save them $1M a year - Leadership has no idea what they are doing and will forgo tool purchases that would make a difference and instead force human labor to replace tool sets despite monthly-weekly excursions caused by human error - Leadership thinks plans they made 5 years ago are still valid despite i) revenue dropping by 50% in that same time-frame and ii) the company going through bankruptcy as a result of these plans - Processes are so jumbled and disorganized that a majority of their losses are attributable to parts just getting lost, miss-placed, or miss-processed - Middle managers are self-seeking without any real focus on true issues - they chase yield gains by finding yield in the garbage bin (claiming defects like finger prints are benign) and expect lower-level engineers to fix major issues by tweaks rather than process chain overhauls and pushing leaders to invest in better practices. - Refusal to accept glaring issues as needing resolution as it may upset higher ups who have oversaw said issues for past 5-10 years - Most engineers will openly say that the only way to fix Wolfpseed is to burn it down and start from scratch - Experience at Wolfspeed is considered a positive inside the company, but, speak to semiconductor engineers in the area and they consider the company a practitioner of bad habits and dumb mistakes.
