LSI reviews

They promote the employees only in the center of the spot light which is not all that bad because they should be promoted. However, there are lots of people who did a lot of supportive work too and have been with the company for a long time as well and I never hear much about them progressing within the company. I myself have made significant contributions and I am actually making less money today than when I started working there with inflation adjusted. There use to be no layoffs and that was one of the greatest perks!!! but now layoffs sound like an annual event. It is often mysterious how they select their layoffs. Because of this, you never know if you'll be gone next and this can really take the drive out of working your best there when layoffs occur. There is encouragement to shift around to do other assignments but little incentive to move upward.

The company is in the process of change which can be upsetting and disruptive and for some such as those that worked in the hardware manufacturing part of the company even worse. But, with change comes opportunity and the chance to make a difference. Because LSI is made up of various acquisitions there are a lot of firewalls and barriers to communication within the company and many if not most divisions work with little interaction with other divisions especially at the low to mid levels of the company. Some acquisitions still operate as if they are a seperate company and this is resulting in some missed opportunities which were the main reason for the aquisition in the first place. Communication in any company is critical to its long term viability and LSI needs to do some major work in this area.
