Pros

Absolutely none. The only perks (free coffee and parking, benefits, retirement) can be had at almost any employer. There are good people who work here, but the smart and motivated ones should resign and move on to better opportunities.

Cons

Too many to list! IOGEAR is the premiere landing spot if you're seeking high pressure, low wages, mismanagement, lack of leadership, minimal job security (unless you're "family"), and a company trending in the wrong direction. This place is an HR nightmare and is micromanaged too closely by its parent company in Taiwan. Overall rating: 👎👎

Hampered by incompetent "leadership"

Pros

Mid-level and below employees are hard-working and genuinely care about the well-being of each other and the work they do.

Cons

The CEO is utterly incompetent and worse, is simply not a good person . It's one thing to do a job poorly; it's another to personally attack former employees and allow personal vindictiveness to overcome any semblance of professionalism. The level of nepotism is unholy. Harassment complaints ignored by HR and alleged lawsuits abound during my tenure there under this person's "leadership". Certain managers have survived by firing underlings and passing shortcomings of their own leadership to their own team. Never having taking ownership of their own lack of skill or job proficiency--they skate by, by pointing fingers in closed door meetings. I know most people will ignore these warnings when going into an interview at the company. You might need the job because of your financial situation (any job is better than none, right?) or you might think your time there will be different--like most of us thought. Don't quit your job to think this is a better opportunity or for more money. In the end, you'll be searching for something else or wishing you had stayed where you were within a year when the curtain is lifted.

Lots of Drama

Pros

full benefits $0 cost for employee. decent restaurants near the office.

Cons

Executives and other managers showed favoritism. Executives didn't seem to have a clear plan or any new ideas for new products. One of the managers told me the company would try to hire Taiwanese employees because "they work harder and for less". They micromanage time cards and have cameras to watch the employees. yes, really.
