NETGEAR reviews about "pay"

Its very data focused, decisions are data driven so if you don't have that capability or focus it might not be right for you.

It was a big downgrade from the company they acquisitioned from. The benefits were not very good and the pay was excessively low.

Difficult to be promoted from within. Job vacancies are often filled from the outside. Promotions do not come with a salary increase.

If you are H1b, you get extremely under pay, heavy overtime work load without promotion. In Netgear, you are not suppose to have kids, not have family. You are even not supposed to be sick, nor take more than one week sick leave.

No free lunches like at Yahoo or Taylor Swift appearances at company parties...wait, is that really such a bad thing?

People are hired into upper management with no product development, sales or marketing experience, and no idea how to treat engineers. Management is verbally abusive to engineers and many are now seeking new jobs so headhunters are calling here first. If you want a product marketing job flirt with management and you'll be hired here - no experience necessary. Others with experience or internal candidates won't even get interviewed. The company management preaches ethics but it seems rules don't apply to them.

You have no family life. Since Netgear is a global company, they expect you to be available to answer questions all time of the day and night.

Ever changing targets make it difficult to focus on the task at hand. Upper management changes goals before the previously set goals were attainable.

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.
