Great products, nice people, but questionable long term career
Pros
- Friendly coworkers and management, I've never had a personal problem with anyone and untalented employee don't last long - Willingness to listen/ change Depends on your team and manager, but I have made some changes that I did not think were going to be listened to. Sometimes you need to put a little extra effort in making the case. - Good/ great products I'm excited whenever we come out with products, its an interesting company that makes really innovative products. Their is a dedicated fan base that I can relate to and enjoy - Location traffic is also an issue in the South Bay, but it could definitely be worse, this building is in a good location
Cons
- IT infrastructure is a mess its bad, frequent server crashes, lack of response, they don't seem to have the resources they need to do their job adequately - Too many out-dated systems our inventory is managed by a system older than I am, each system doesn't work with another, they aren't the most user friendly, desperately needs updating - Average to low average pay believe that we would retain higher caliber employees if compensation was better, I consider if I can really make a long term career here 7 - 10 years out - High turnover It seems too high and people here use ASUS as a stepping stone to somewhere else - Old Building Nothing that exciting about the building, its not the worst either, but considering the size of the company, the facility should be larger and nicer - Lack of training Our training process for each position is sparse at best, its definitely a sink or swim mentality, be better to have more structure in learning the specific roles and creating a shared database for referencing job functions and how to use the internal systems, left to your own devices much of the time, which builds your personally but hurts synergy
