Crestron Electronics reviews

Friendly work environment Planned activities for interns

Start: On-line Crestron review: 9/23/15 @ 1:45AM… Pros-- Great products (very interesting). High end audio/video and control systems that would plumb a high-rise, hospital, hotel, OR the home of a person(s) of means. The entrepreneur that founded the company and managed it for years (George Feldstein) recently passed November 2014 at age 73. Crestron is an unusual company employing about 1500 people in northern Jersey....Mid-century, NJ was sort of the east-coast Silicon Valley (before there was silicon/the transistor)....but all of that has changed. Technology companies have long departed or have gone out of business in NJ BUT CRESTRON IS a high-tech company and very profitable! I enjoyed working for Crestron (however read my 'cons'). Crestron's website is stellar! Too bad other companies do not have or maintain such a superb information tool. Specs and associated information is easy to find. All product information is thorough and written in plain English. Customers (and employees) have access to all kinds of tools including training and tutorials. This not only includes information/training on their products but also training on the various technologies utilized in these products. The Corporate office is located at their Rockleigh NJ campus which includes corporate management, engineering, HR, service, etc (very nice part of NJ….extreme NE corner). They also have a facility in Cresskill NJ where an SMT and thru-hole shop produces and tests loaded PCBs. Over time, these processes and testing is outsourced to various CMs (many in Mexico). This is a viable strategy which other companies should emulate. I worked with approximately 20 other engineers whose discipline was 'test', both functional (module/system) and manufacturing test (PCBs). I enjoyed working with ALL in the department. Jeff-P
