NETGEAR reviews about "work environment"

- Some employees are highly toxic and racists against me because they thought I am Muslim even though I am Sikh from India. This also included the people from upper management. - Even people at EECO and DFEH were appalled. They said they saw these type of incidents only at McDonalds, Walmart etc. or other blue collar job sites. - Whole HR department as well as UX department was involved in it. - It is the worst place I've worked in my entire career and I've worked for 8 different companies. - All the positive reviews are fake and paid reviews. - This is not a place for talent. - Incumbent self-promoting management misrepresent employees just to fire them. - As an Indian/Sikh, I went through constant Anti-Muslim harassment at the hands of several employees and contractors at the behest of the HR and management. - They were using contractors and facilities employees as their foot soldiers to harass me so as to make difficult to be sued. Current California/Federal discrimination laws give more weightage to harassment by the supervisors or managers then to the employees who are your peers or below you. Company has almost negligible liability in case of contractors so that's why they used them to harass me. - All these perpetrators always had Realtime knowledge of all the managerial level decisions. So people in management were providing this information to them directly. Including, the information about my termination. - Notoriously bad and racist upper management. - Totally hostile work environment. - It might be usual scene for some but in my life I have never lived in ghetto or kept any contact with these type of people. Neither I grew up in these type of toxic environment. So, It does affected me negatively and I try to avoid living as well as working in ghettos. - If they have planned so meticulously there strategy to harass someone who they think is "Muslim" then obviously law suits doesn't matter them. Those are part of the plan. They are willing to endure few lawsuits to show it to Muslims or someone who they think is Muslim. - Only thing they try to mitigate was there cost of the law suit by using contractors and facilities people to harass me. They never tried to stop the harassment and only tried to mitigate the cost of the lawsuit. - I never even asked them to fire anyone only for them to stop harassment so that I can better concentrate on my work and not get distracted by all this harassment but after the complaint they become even more aggressive and bold. - They made my life extremely stressful and difficult. - These kind of things can never occur until the management gives free hand to the perpetrators to do whatever they want as long as the victim is Muslim or looks like Muslim. - So, you are already working these long hours sometimes even 14-16 hours and over that you have to prove at every moment that you are not "Muslim". - Lot of people stopped harassment once they realized that I was not Muslim but what would have happened if I was actually Muslim? Would they have physically attacked me like so many anti-Muslim hate crimes happening against browns especially Indians and Sikhs. Some Examples as below: ○ Indian engineer killed, another injured in U.S. hate crime Navy veteran shouted ‘get out of my country’ before opening fire in a bar - February 24, 2017, Kansas Shooting. ○ An African American Iraq War veteran intentionally ran down a family of Indian descent in California thinking they were Muslims, according to police. - April 28, 2019, Sunnyvale, CA. - Obviously, These incidents are not isolated and happened in the spurt of the moment but were well-planned and coordinated. Similarly, Anything could have happened to me at these two companies since they were also emboldening and supporting these racists individuals by not taking any action against them, standing with them including the HR and other employees from the management, hiring the people who were fired for the same behavior earlier and then trying to stick it to me that they re-hired the "the same facilities contractors". - Soon, I will be releasing the full details to the public including the perpetrators involved in the racism and harassment.

Needs to work on base salary.

Something rules is not good

Benefits are average; work hours need to be flexible to accommodate Asian time zones.

Too conservative on hiring

For some existing projects where there is a high dependency on offshore assistance, the ability to collaborate as efficiently and effectively with other local teams is impacted.

NETGEAR is not a one-size fits all work environment. The Executive team challenges each individual to succeed and to some that is uncomfortable and maybe frightening. Every employee contributes to the success of NETGEAR, which could be nerve-wracking that your work could actually impact the stock price, but the management team is there to help as long as you’re communicative. Do not get me wrong, it does get stressful and it is a challenging place to work, but that’s because NETGEAR is in the market to compete. Their success has been built on innovation – heck they may have invented the word innovate – and for those who struggle with how to bring that level of work to their day-to-day, it may be dificult. But, my advice is to be communicative with your management team before you get too stressed, so they can help pave the right path. This has worked out for me – constant communication and openness from the beginning clears the air.

Nothing much to be said
