Advantech Customer Program Manager reviews

The base pay does not reflect the amount of work and pressure that is placed on an individual. Advantech does not provide proper financial compensation for working hard. It is very difficult to get a decent pay raise. Management lacks communication, and they will always look out for well being of the company instead of the satisfaction of its employees.

Let's see... Where to start... 1. Management does it their way, or the highway. There is absolutely no room for collaboration. Your idea can be exceptional and make perfect sense but most likely, it will be rejected since it wasn't the manager's idea, even if the manager's idea is inefficient and makes no sense. Truly scary the egos at play here. 2. There is absolutely no trust from management to their employees. During the pandemic lockdown, employees were still forced to go into the office even though their jobs could be done anywhere that had internet access. The office was packed with people and there was not much protection. They put up some plastic walls but half the time they were falling or not properly installed. In Sales operations, they required check in emails daily to prove that you were on time to work. They also required weekly reports to basically show what you were doing. This list could go on and on, but the bottom line is that they don't trust their employees and spend way too much time babysitting and micromanaging them. 3. When you complain about your workload being too much, their solution is to give you more work and then act like you are not very busy in the first place. 4. There is no such thing as work life balance in their culture. Just work, more work, and then some more work for the evenings and weekends too! If you are a boring person with no hobbies and love working and not doing much else, it's the perfect place for you!
