Pros

Flexibility at work and very laid back.

Cons

No one know what they’re doing. The higher ups can care-less about the lower people who grind everyday to make their company stay afloat. You aren’t appreciated for what you do there at all. Have to beg and beg for any promotions or raises. They look for outsiders to fill positions rather than to promote people. A lot of empty promises and shady business. Not good pay either.

Pros

- The local HR team was helpful even though their upper management wasn't. - The original company which I was part of, acquired by Advanced Energy, was having really great work culture and personal life balance until it merged to Advanced Energy, Milpitas location. - As a work visa employee, the local HR team and legal team was great and helpful.

Cons

- In my 3 years of work at Advanced Energy, our engineering manager was changed more than 5 times. Lot of miscommunications happened between our engineering managers and their upper management, led them to either retire or quit or getting terminated, and surprisingly HR did not take any steps, even though observing a pattern here. - Due to change in our engineering managers rapidly, there is no time to focus on personal development and growth, as each manager had their own point of views in developing the team. - Our team has delivered 2 prototypes to the clients regardless of whatever their demands are. Still no promotions or recognitions. - Favoritism in terms of promotion, while employees older than 3 years were getting nothing, but a 6 months old newbie gets a promotion, even though having less experience compared to the position he/she got. - Due to work visa limitations, they agreed me to transfer to another company location, which is great, but their interview process was alarming, as they took seven round of interviews for practically same work position, and it was just an internal transfer! Then, they did not give any feedback until I initiated responses several times, also gave an automatic reply that I was not selected. - When they can't even write a reason why I was not selected/transferred for practically same position as company employee, you should not expect anything as an outsiders.

Pros

Build experience gaps for a career with another company since turnover is so high.

Cons

Low compensation as compared to similar regions. No profit sharing. Middle management lacks vision. No training available for job growth. Lackluster employee recognition programs. Mediocre company Summer picnics. Uses SAP from 1998 release hence, lacks vision for power of technology as a tool for productivity. The list can go on and on.
