Used to be fairly good place to work, until a few years ago. - Recensione dipendente - Engineering Manager presso International Rectifier

Senior management had lost their way and their judgement became increasingly dubious, in the last few years ... culminating in the ouster of virtually the entire executive suite by late 2007. Many other talented managers and employees left during tumultuous 2007. New CEO in 2008, brings in a completely new team, and of course everything before him was 'wrong'. Lots of turmoil, unless you are one of the lucky few who stands to profit from the chaos. (ie, FOO - Friend Of Oleg). Former colleagues tell me the organization has gotten much more compartmentalized (silos), and that information and communications are far more limited & restrictive under the new regime. Starting in the early 2000s, Company became very stingy with stock options. Nowadays, options are limited to a handful of VPs, board of directors, CEO, and the innermost executive suite. Middle managers and individual contributors are left out.
