Outdated Forced Ranking (TM System)

Senior manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Skyworks Newbury Park has the ability to be an amazing company and become the leader in the industry. It offers great benefits and a competitive salary.

Cons

The company is still hanging onto the outdated forced ranking system that mandates that all managers rate 20% of their employees as a TM3 - no raise. After many years of downsizing the organization to meet profit objectives the forced ranking system creates serious morale issues. It is also very difficult to attract top talent to Ventura County area, which means when you lose people you can't replace them. Skyworks may fail as an organization if they don't retire this outdated system.

We appreciate your feedback, though would note that some of your information is incorrect. Skyworks does strive to create a performance driven culture and evaluates its employees annually, with compensation tied to performance against goals and key performance indicators. As you would expect, not all employees perform at the same level. As a matter of good business practice, Skyworks routinely evaluates its performance review process and makes improvements as needed to help attract, retain and reward the best talent, as well as support a growing global company.
