Netgear has no idea what it means to invest in its staff.

Pros

Decent office location, benefits were average.

Cons

Building A/C flatout didn't work properly leaving one side approximately 20 degrees warmer than the other. No opportunity for promotion within the company. No matter what was accomplished over a year, the employee review process would still make you fight to justify simply continuing to work there. Middle management positions were constantly shifting sometimes causing your chain of command to change 4 times a year(yes, every quarter). Equipment budgets for engineering departments beyond retail routers were minimal. The general culture of the office including company sponsored events could be best described as something that requires constant tip-toeing.

Pros

Good pay. Good people still left at the company who are not necessarily managers.

Cons

Manager was condensing and verbally abusive and had no appreciation for difficult work that had to be done. Layoff of 80 people just this past February. Company moving in different direction and just focused on retail business.
