Great company to learn many new skills - Recensione dipendente - Operations presso Allegro Wireless

Experience here may look good on a resume, if tweaked properly

Constant managerial complaints about how the company is loosing money hand over fist, while wasting vast sums of money on ill conceived pipe dreams that never amount to anything. Failure based on managements inability to make sound business decisions is always blamed on the staff. Prepare to be micromanaged on an intimate level, from being dictated unprofessional emails to send, to evening having your lunch controlled from when to what. Extremely poor pay,,and no bonuses whatsoever. Lack of proper pay is made up for by promises of stock options, which are never explained or defined. Management's childish temper tantrums, thinly veiled physical threats, and holes punched in walls are far to common occurrences. Many industry leading management professionals had been brought in over the years to 'fix' the company, but all left within months having been driven out by management. Management culture is driven by paranoid delusions and fantasies of grandeur. Everyone is an enemy, especially partners and customers. Fear of management's irrationality is a common theme for employees. Almost all tenured staff have quit for reasons related to the above observations.

Allegro is a honourable honest company, they are also demanding, but only with reasonable expectations. They have fired very few employees over the 12 years, and have never been late to pay or fail to deliver on agreements. The people are nice and very sharp. Work environment is good and the company has industry respect as inovators. Food program is cool.

They don't remove bad apples soon enough, instead push them and give too many chances which is to the detriment of those who must work with the bad apples. There was management conflict that has since been resolved but has cuased some stress in retooling. Management has high standards and demands the protection of the customer experiance so it can lead to stressful times. There was a dark cloud until a few months ago that was stressful.
