Razer does not care about its employees. You are told that you are expendable and are viewed as a cost on a balance sheet. There is no job security, future is constantly uncertain, and morale is low as a result. As soon as your role can be outsourced to Asia, the company will not hesitate to do it. Americans are used to build IP then terminated when products are “good enough” to outsource to Asia, despite American employees often having higher ROI.
CEO is more concerned about his social media presence than his employees. He is all style and no substance, is a laughably terrible leader, and micromanages everything down to wallpapers and icons.
Despite claiming to be an American company, power is centralized in Singapore among CEO and a small group of his family members. Competent leaders outside HQ with industry experience do not have any real power and their advice is ignored. Executives with no knowledge of how to build products think they know better.
Because the company focuses on cost-cutting, many teams are severely understaffed and have no work-life balance. There is no reward for working hard. Bonuses are unattainable because organizational goals outside of an individual employees' control are never met.
CEO creates a toxic culture of "yes men" because he is not interested in differing opinions.
CEO takes all credit for praise and positive news, but blames anything negative on employees when it is often his own fault.
CEO has no long-term vision and changes his mind on a whim, so your project may be cancelled overnight. His decision-making process has been described as blindly throwing darts and is incredibly short-sighted. Because of this, the company often steps over dollars to save pennies.
Many positive reviews are fake due to Glassdoor reviews being an HR KPI. Instead of trying to fix workplace issues, they just try to pretend they don't exist to avoid bad PR. The average score was 2.7 as of January 2017, but is 3.4 as of May 2019 because of this campaign.
