NETGEAR reviews

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.

Company culture and decisions are driven by one man only. There is nothing wrong with that except top management is egoistical and does not listen to anyone. He needs to know more than everyone and be the center of every conversation. If you know more than him in your specialty area, you are wrong - that's it. He surrounds himself with "yes-man". Top management is openly rude and would humiliate employees having a different opinion in public. Exec management fosters a very political environment. Be careful to not get on the wrong side of the wrong person -- it does not matter how hard you work or how much you contribute. Annual review cycle is just a beauty pagent and not merit based at all. No appreciation of employees.
