Allied Telesis reviews

If you are mediocre, lazy, and want to use zero brain cells for 8 hours a day, this company is for you. Have opinions or ideas, a desire to succeed, or want to be part of a successful company that is going places? This is NOT the company for you. So long as you cow tow to the CEO, who makes every decision, no matter how minute, you could possibly be allowed to exist and collect your mediocre paycheck, which will be more than you deserve for subsisting at this organization beyond the point you realize what a cesspool it is. If you work there now, wake up because the game will be up soon when AT North America (which is nothing more than a playground for the aged CEO to tuck losses and expenses into) will no longer be propped up by the Japanese parent. If management of AT is trying to recruit you with dazzling promises of transformation, investment and the part you will play in a "key role", smile and ask to interview the BOD (stuffed with the CEOs family and friends who equally but silently scratch their heads as to why the parent company continues to let the CEO persist), the department heads ("boomerangs" who have been tossed away over the years and have come groveling back) and three random employees who will give you the straight dope on what it's like to subsist there (take their input with a grain of salt, though-- many have succumbed to zombie-ness or have fallen victim to Stockholm Syndrome).

Brand reputation for reliability and good price. Loyal customer base which keeps the company afloat. Financially stable thanks to Japan market. Note: this is a Japanese company, founded and run by an industry veteran. However the remainder of this review will focus on North America (NA) business which is owned by the Japanese holdings Co but managed independantly (at least until recently). There is opportunity here. Someone looking to try something new, perhaps reinvent themselves, and has the fortitude to handle the lack of structure, ok with poor comp plan and no perf reviews.
