Applied Optoelectronics reviews

Senior management is dysfunctional and decisions are often driven by personal relationships rather than what makes the most sense for the business. Who you know and how well you’re liked tends to matter more than performance. There is little interest in changing how things are done, even when current processes are clearly not working. The expectation for salaried employees to work long hours is common and largely accepted. This is not a great environment for growth or work-life balance. I would only recommend taking a role here if you are desperate for a job and have limited other options.
