"You get what you expect"


The opportunity was to work as part of a "start-up" building exciting technology which will transform the bank. The reality is completely different. The "work" is mundane, soul destroying GWT development of payment systems within an oversized team with far too many managers who walk around like they own the place.
The technology stack is so far out of date - yet we are wedded to it because somebody, somewhere decided it was the right thing. It is too 2005 and this is 2014. Wake up!!! Suggesting anything else is pointless as our managers do not own the decisions or are scared to challenge anything.
I stupidly moved from a real technology company where we had a purpose and the environment was pleasant. I moved for the change in money and the oversold prospects.. I regretted every day since to the point I found another job.
The craziest thing is that everyone moans about how bad the political situation is and they put up with it for the money only. This explains why the majority of staff are uninspired and lacking passion for the work. The senior team are has-beens and are in no way visionary, even if they like to proclaim they are.
Any interaction with London or New York feels unpleasant and they control the life-line by giving us just enough or hold a carrot by promising us new work, but only after they have chewed it out and moved onto the next thing.
The facilities are very poor. The toilets are always smelly, the meeting rooms are scrappy and you have to drive to get food or a coffee.

in a short period of time so take extremely good notes 
because after that you are on your own. Mainly because 
everyone is busy trying to get their work done and cover 
themselves. Management is no help they are too busy 
themselves to help you or on vacation. If you decide 
to go to finance reporting don't unless you have no 
life or family and you love extreme stress. New York 
make all the calls for Jacksonville. Every thing is 
manual. Much time is use to manipulate several 
reports to get a result. The left hand does not 
know what the right hand is doing but are held responsible 
for some one you have no idea had their hand in the process. 
IT is no help also you are responsible if you computer 
is not working or if you don't have the correct program 
to do your job regardless of how many time you try to 
contact IT. Even if you have years of experience this 
is not like any other job. Before you take this job 
ask good questions. As certain departments are better 
then others. If you don't ask they will not tell you.

---samsung semiconductor :

I have worked as an engineer, supervisor and manager 
for 2 American based, 1 European based and 1 Korean 
based semiconductor manufacturing companies over a 
35+ year career. Samsung Austin Semiconductor (SAS) 
is, by far, the best company in almost every comparable 
category. The long-term vision for growth at the Austin 
site makes me wish I were closer to the beginning of my 
career. Culturally speaking, SAS has the most diversified 
staff of people at every level and position with which 
I have ever worked. The opportunities to move up and 
around are very available. Salaries are very competitive. 
SAS, more than any company with which I have yet worked, 
strives to create the best work/life balance. 
Continuing educational opportunities are provided. 
The benefits package is very good and well-priced. 
SAS, more than any other company I have experienced 
gives back to the community in hundreds of ways and 
with thousands of dollars. I have worked at SAS for 
7 years. I have filled several very enjoyable roles 
and worked on many very interesting and challenging 
projects with some of the best people from all over 
the planet. I came to the Austin area 20 years ago. 
My wife and I raised 7 children, putting them through
the school system here. The culture, diversity and the 
values in this area make it one of the best places 
in the world to raise a family.

"Disappointed"

The Korean manager in our department told the group at 
least 1x/week how much he did not like Americans. We 
were encouraged to attend department team building 
dinners off-site where alcohol was served, some employees 
felt pressured to drink. The work environment is 
extremely competitive and political, with an established 
hierarch and pecking order that you better not question 
or your career will be in jeopardy. Trust and morale is 
low. The goals are very aggressive and the pace is fast, 
so people work a lot of hours and burn out is perpetuated.
1 year at Samsung = 7 dog years in regards 
to your personal aging and well being. The company 
prefers young, beautiful, physically fit employees, 
so the staff is fairly junior. Working at Samsung 
requires strong emotional intelligence, a thick skin, 
and a lot of cross cultural competence. In some 
departments, new ideas and problem solving skills 
are not valued. A colleague once told me that he 
felt like he should just check his brain at the door 
before entering the building.

"Workplace Harassment"

I've worked for six different semiconductor 
companies during my careeer and Samsung Austin 
Semiconductor was by far the worst and that's 
putting it mildly. It's a hostile work enviroment.
One reviewer compared it to being on "survivor" and 
I agree. If you work in the fab you will be constantly 
over worked and under maned and overtime was manditory 
more times than not. And heaven forbid you should ever 
make a mistake. Not much if any off site vendor training 
is offered. Turn over is real bad at SAS.

"The Worst"


CONS: Literally everything else here is BAD.
The way this company runs is like the Survivor TV show. 
Only one person can win or at least that is how the 
Directors and Senior Managers like it here and that is 
the way the place runs.
Incompetent management, deceit, lies and a general feeling 
of no one trust anyone here. If you work in semiconductors 
for more than a year you will know the TERRIBLE reputation 
this company has for the way it treats its people. Stay Away.

"If you like the Survivor TV show and want that type of work life you will love it here"
 
 
 
Pros
benefits and generous PTO allotment.
Cons
Discretely discouraged from taking PTO.
Advice to Management
Don't offer so much PTO if it is discretely discouraged. 
Departments are obviously short-handed, but take time 
hiring people that are a fit for company and not just 
get a warm body to fill a spot.

"Stressfull work environment, always going from crisis to crisis."


Cons
- HR views talent as interchangeable. Inexperienced new 
engineers are brought into jobs requiring vast amounts 
of experience.
- Korean work culture is very different from American work 
culture. Expect excess political maneuvering, information 
withholding, artificial crises, and unrealistic deadlines 
and expectations.
- No creativity. If Korea does something one way, you are 
expected to mimic them, even if it is inefficient or 
incompatible with local variables.
- No pay equity. New engineers can make more starting 
than engineers who have worked at SAS for 5 years.
- Expectations on travel are unreasonable. Fore example, 
an engineer was sent to Korea for 5 weeks of training on 
short notice when his wife was 9 months pregnant.

"Great Pay for Terrible Treatment"


Cons
Where to start?
Disrespectful workplace - This is, by far, the biggest 
problem at this company. Employees, regardless of level, 
tenure, or experience are not respected. For example, it 
was a fairly common occurrence where senior managers were 
publicly humiliated and put down. Needless to say, this 
type of disrespect permeates the entire organization. 
Employees are not treated like actual people with lives, 
families, and interests outside of work.
Face time, not accomplishments, are important to success - 
It really doesn't matter how many projects you complete 
or how much money you save the company. At the end of 
the day, your performance is judged by how much time 
you're seen to spend at work. Smoking and napping are 
acceptable, as long as a Korean sees you at work. 
You get bonus points if you risk your health to be at work.
Creativity is not acceptable - "If Korea doesn't do it, 
than neither will we". As mentioned in other reviews, 
the culture is copy exactly. This leaves no room for 
deviation or innovation. To accomplish these ends, 
the company is driven by new college graduates that 
(to put it bluntly) don't know any better. You are 
expected to do as you are told and accept the fact 
that you are going to be micro-managed. The tendency 
is to eliminate the people with experience and replace 
them with no experience.
Constant crisis - there is always a crisis situation, 
real or manufactured. I think the term was 
"tension mind-set": the belief is that you will get 
better performance out of your employees if they 
think that disaster is imminent. This is true for 
a while, but ends up burning out the typical 
employee pretty quickly.
At the end of the day, it's a Korean company. You 
interface with the local American management, but 
it's the Korean management that defines the direction 
of the company and you're role within it. If you are 
relatively inexperienced and want to make some good 
money before you move to something else, I think this 
job is OK. If you have industry experience, I suggest 
looking elsewhere as your experience is not valued.

"It used to be a good place to work..."


Cons
I'll try to not repeat content from the June 18th reveiw 
because it was so accurate.
1. Appearance is more important than substance. This is a 
cultural difference and the Koreans let it bleed into their 
business practices.
Examples:
a) Working on projects to appear busy with a 0% possibility 
of a positive outcome or problem reslution, especially in 
"emergency" situations where action is required.
b) staying at work for the sake of staying at work. 
10-12 hour days are commonplace and most engineers work 
6 days a week. Weekend coverage and off shift work is 
common for engineers. This is not the case at other 
companies, nor is it necessary at samsung. However, 
being at work is more important than getting actual work done.
c) Extreme security measures are common and lack 
effectivness. They provide the appearance that intellectual 
property is being protected when in reality it is not. 
Examples of security measures: metal detectors on the 
way out of buildings including getting wanded like you're 
at an airport, cell phone cameras and USB ports need to 
be covered wtih stickers, cell phones need to be 
"registered", USB ports on computers are disabled, 
emails are restricted, etc..
d) putting glass windows the outside of buildings where 
there are not actually windows on the inside (funny!!!!!)
2. Your career and professional development is not in the 
interest of Samsung or the managment. I was there for a 
few years and I never met one person who was going back 
to school with the support of samsung (monetarily or 
otherwise). This is VERY different from american companies 
which recoginize the mutual benefits of continuous 
learning and career development. You are simply a drone 
at samsung, nothing more. I had a friend who asked for a 
letter of recommendation to graduate school and was fired 
2 weeks later. Coincidence? I think not. Samsung doesn't 
place any value on increased education. They just fire 
people who they know are going to school because they 
understand that those employees will leave right after 
they graduate. I also had a friend who was going to school 
part time and had to keep it a secret so that he wouldn't 
lose his job. Think about this: Samsung is firing because 
of and discouraging its engineers to get additional 
education...even if they pay for it themselves!!!!
3. Entry level engineers do jobs that are the equivalent 
of technician work at other semiconductor companies, 
including working overnight hours and weekends, etc.. 
New engineers do process "sustaining" that is very 
mindless and boring. Entry level engineers typically 
work with one of the production shifts (12 hours day or 
night) for 4 days a week with an extra "normal" day 
thrown in for good measure.
4. Women are not respected. I only met one woman (american) 
manager in my entire time at Samsung. Additionally, I never 
saw a woman engineer working in the Austin facility that 
was on assignment from Samsung in Korea. I would estimate 
that 20-30% of the workforce in Austin are Koreans who 
are on temporary assignment to the US. It is outright 
SHOCKING that they have never sent a woman engineer to Austin.

"Horrible place to work, review from June18th is extremely 
accurate and complete, but I will try to add."



Cons
Samsung's hiring advantage has eroded: while SAS still 
offers good pay and benefits, word has gotten around that 
the employees have terrible morale and work under conditions 
that most people would not tolerate for long. 
Everyone knows about the poor reviews on sites 
like this one, which are generally accurate, if 
sometimes overly emotional.
Let me expand on the negatives:
Professional development: After the first two years 
or so, when new engineers generally learn the details 
of the process and equipment they are responsible for, 
personal development trails off. SAS has a woefully 
underutilized Six Sigma program that lacks institutional 
support. Engineers can expect to receive Six Sigma 
training and then never use it. SAS also has a large 
number of computer based training courses, which, while 
much cheaper than instructor-led training, are also basically 
ineffective. You get what you pay for. 
Once engineers reach a basic level of competence, 
they should not expect the company to provide 
opportunities for further growth in engineering skill. 
Motivated individuals can and do create such opportunities 
for themselves, but it is very easy to stagnate, because 
the only reward for building one's own skills is personal 
satisfaction.
Split management: SAS has two parallel management structures. 
Each American manager has at least one shadow manager, 
a Korean national known as a "dispatch" manager or 
"dispatcher." The official role of the dispatcher is 
to advise the American manager. In reality, this sets 
up a system in which each department has two or 
more bosses (some groups have more than one dispatcher). 
In any situation where a department has two bosses, things 
get muddled: engineers get separate and sometimes 
conflicting tasks assigned by each manager. So much 
the worse when the second group of managers meets 
separately and decides, in a language not understood 
by the rest of the organization, what direction that 
organization should take, often without informing the 
American managers of their decisions. If this sounds 
like a nightmare scenario for the American managers, 
that's because it is.
Perpetual crisis: It is a matter of official policy to 
work in a perpetual state of crisis. 
(Try googling "samsung culture of crisis".) The theory is 
that employees work harder and make faster, better decisions 
in a crisis. So Samsung creates artificial crises. This has
become so ingrained in the corporate culture that it happens 
automatically: every deadline slides up, no major project 
is initiated with enough time to complete it, departments 
are perpetually understaffed, and production goals are 
always just beyond reach. In practice, this theory 
results in burnt-out, cynical employees who are so 
accustomed to artificial crises that they have trouble 
recognizing real ones. Also, an atmosphere of crisis 
crowds out long-term thinking. In a crisis, nobody 
sits down to make a long term plan, and when new 
crises arrive every day, long term plans aren't worth much, 
anyway.
Appearances: Samsung values "hard work." The scare quotes 
are there for a reason. Institutionally, Samsung values 
employees who are there all the time. Working late in 
the evening earns you recognition. Finding a means to 
reduce everybody's workload does not. As a result, 
Samsung's data systems are extremely labor-intensive. 
Since tools for automating the task are not available, 
reviewing charts takes on huge significance. It is the 
principal duty of many engineers to visually review charts 
of all data relevant to their jobs, every day. Making 
changes to production systems usually means hours of 
manual data entry, copying a table by hand from a 
spreadsheet, since copy and paste have been disabled 
in most internal software. A 50 hour workweek is the 
absolute minimum for an engineer. Usually this schedule 
will be enforced by morning and evening meetings. Once 
engineers reach the Senior Engineer job grade, they 
typically receive remote access and work more than one 
weekend each month. This can easily add up to 60 or 
more hours in the average workweek. Meetings that 
overlap lunchtime are the rule rather than the exception. 
Engineers can expect to have at least one meeting a week 
that occurs between 11am and 1pm. All of this serves to 
create the appearance of diligence, which the 
organization values over creativity and accomplishment.

"A Good Place To Have Worked"


Cons
*It is very difficult to make changes (hardware and process) 
because if Korea isn't doing it then we will not, even if 
it makes sense.
*Raises are very poor year in and year out.
*There are no objectives as to how you can get promoted 
much less get a raise.
*Promotions seem to be based on Powerpoint skills not 
actual work accomplished. Brown-nosing is key here.
*There is a definite social class system feel to the 
company. There is little respect for the decision making 
abilities of the technicians. The management would rather 
listen to a newly graduated Engineer make a critical 
decision on a tool who has never put his/her hands 
physically on the tool.

"Not Recommended"



Cons
In 2009 47% of employees were terminated. This same year 
SAS hired ~15 recent college graduates and payed them all 
$63K per year, and terminated experience people with the 
company since the beginning. Anyone with web skills was 
also terminated. There is no loyalty to employees.
The company and especially management is a boys club. 
In ~115 managers, 5 of them are woman. If you are not 
born Korean there you cannot rise above director. 
The president makes all the decisions in a draconian f
ashion, leaving the directors left to operate like sycophants.
The worst IT systems you could imagine. Employees get 
1 way pagers and have to use a home grown web based email 
system. Every day is an exercise in how much frustration 
you can take. It is not possible to make changes or 
enhancements to the systems because headquarters in 
Korea mandates systems we use, even though the business 
and set up (especially the supply chain) is very different 
from HQ.
HR randomly places people. Have a degree in engineering? 
It's likely after you get hired you will be managing a 
construction project with facilities. The promotion 
program is time based without regard to performance or 
natural leadership talent. There is no professional 
development, and training does not exist. Everything is 
on the job training.
Employees are not trusted with any information. 
All hard drives are encrypted, all accounts expire after 
30 days and take a VP to approve. Many times you can not 
even cut and paste or take screen captures. There are no 
laptops and the PC's are old and very slow. People buy and 
install more memory with their personal funds. 
The software we have to work with is 
XP/Office 2003/SQL 2000/.NET 2.0 with little other 
offering and no hope of upgrading.
The standard "Great Work Place" survey scores say it all. 
Employees rated it well below 50, where Forbes top 100 get 
in the 90s.

I disagree with some of reviews that mentioned this is a

sudden lay-offs will danger your immigration status. 
If you are hired to work on a research team the chance 
is even higher that you get laid-off in less than a year 
simply because HQ do not like your manager or they want 
to steal the project.
This is not a merit based company, your promotion

"Nightmare"

Cons
Without question, the worst company I have ever worked for 
in my 15-year career. The amount of incompetence in a company 
of this scale is staggering. While our office in the US was 
setup to incubate ideas and work autonomously, everything 
still goes through HQ - where design concepts are butchered, 
stolen outright, or disappear into the abyss of mismanagement.
To anybody considering a job with Samsung in the US, steer 
clear of this debacle. Every interaction with the company 
is painful. Just scheduling time off is a complicated process 
that involves launching a virtual windows environment to 
access an intranet portal that only works with IE8, which 
is hidden under layers and layers of tabs within tabs. 
Just a nightmare getting even the simplest of things done.
I joined Samsung because I thought I'd be working on cool 
products and I'd be able to have some influence. What I've 
experienced is a cluster-**** of a poorly structured company 
without direction or a clear vision. It's amazing how waiting 
until the last minute to do something, combined with 
outspending any other company on the planet to market 
products, Samsung has been able to establish itself 
as a major player in the industry. It's all a joke and 
I fell for it.

Cons
A Korean company in the US. Korean management culture is very 
different from US culture

"Can"

Cons
After working at Samsung, I am amazed that they are able to 
be successful. The culture is dominated by fear (do this or 
you won't have a project next year) and micromanagement from 
headquarters (Korea). Samsung claims to value innovation but 
provides the most suffocating culture I have ever worked in. 
The overall environment was based on vague requests in 
another language and an inherent bias against asking 
questions (just do what we say).
Equally important is that all decisions (important or 
otherwise) are made in the Korean time zone using the 
Korean language. Results are not send out so US employees 
are pretty much in the dark. As far as I could tell, its 
impossible to influence strategic thinking from the United 
states. My boss was the President of an SRA group and even 
he had little to no influence over directions, assignments 
or funding.

"Great products but not a great place to work"


Cons
The planning function is ridiculous. There are a team of 
young Koreans who attempt to lead the organization on 
behalf of an almost absent President. This is not a 
global company. It is a Korean company that is 
attempting something far beyond its capabilities.
Advice to Management
Leadership is VERY important. The current President is 
essentially a manager. They also should stop getting rid 
of their successful leaders with strong personalities.

"Software Test Engineer II"

Cons
Senior management are unexperienced, arogant and incapable 
to mange the lab.
Neoptism and favoritism are very popular during the company, 
especially if you are Koreans you are in their loop otherwise 
you are out of the loop
Their demand is unclear with high expectations. 
There is no roadmap and direction in the lab.
All the decisions are made under closed door, there is 
no presentation by the executive about their future plan. 
Everything is secret.
You have to work with HQ but they are reluctant to collaborate.
People work very hard and prepare quality work but are 
always criticized by executive and the executive never 
appreciate their work.
The EVP is an autocrat and very hard to work with him.

"Lots of politics and very little gets done.. No career growth. No recognition."


Cons
The following are the negative aspects that are commonly 
experienced when working at Samsung:
* Korean management, who were sent to the U.S. 
from Samsung Corp. in Korea, makes all of the decisions.
* Non-Korean managers and employees are put in place 
to keep up an "American" appearance.
* Management will favor ethnically and culturally 
Korean employees.
* Culturally Korean employees will have work-related 
conversations in Korean in front of non-Korean co-workers.
* Majority of managers are severely incompetent and 
have very little skill or expertise.
* Working style emulates the military (probably Korean military).
* At Samsung, female workers are second class citizens 
who need to feign traditional, submissive roles. 
Sometimes, they literally walk behind the male employees, 
especially if they are culturally Korean.
* Employees work very hard to "compete" by analyzing 
competitor's products & features.
* Compensation will be below par when compared to 
competing companies, unless you were an A level employee 
at the competing company, i.e. A, F, G, & N, who Samsung 
would like to poach in the area.
If you are currently working for one of the top tier 
companies, please be well advised and make a better 
choice for your career.

"Heartless company making 3rd world quality, derivative products"


Cons
Poor benefits, no stock options, little vacation, 
poor management, demoralizing environment, big egos, 
terrible infrastructure (poor IT support, ineffective 
internal processes etc.)
If you're a talented designer, or a designer with any 
integrity, Samsung's UX Center is not for you, unless 
you join the right lab. Some UX labs have deceiving titles, 
where "innovation" is completely overrated. Lab director 
(or Manager) is incompetent, with absolutely no idea 
how to run an effective UX team. Full blown office politics, 
where people fight a lot to get attention. There is no 
collaboration within even a small team, and the manager 
is too incompetent to resolve any conflicts. The management 
level is eager to please our Korea HQ, but constantly 
fails to convince. The only thing this lab director 
cares about is the number of patents filed, so he 
can look good and receive his year-end bonus.
Full-blown favoritism is in constant display. Some 
Sr. level designers don't even have any design 
background, nor do they design anything. But the 
management will always protect them while other 
team members are sacrificed instead.
Designers are treated like tools within the lab, 
even when they are the most pivotal role in the 
design lab. Here are some tips I learned to survive 
in Samsung's UXC: 
1. Please your manager, do not challenge them. 
2. Always remember your manager can be a jealous animal 
(who'll be threatened if you 
outshine them in front of other VPs from HQ or the Center) 
3. Forget about HR, they're utterly useless and will 
never be on your side 
4. Learn how to deal with big egos 
5. Learn how to be happy in an extremely
demotivating environment.
Show Less
Advice to Management
Make effective decisions, even if it means taking out 
certain toxic employees who are detrimental to the 
operations of the entire team. Bring in a motivating 
and humble UX leader who understands design and turn 
this around. Give all employees a voice and listen 
to them. Allow employees to give performance reviews 
to their managers. STEP UP and value your designers 
so the UX lab can be truly "innovative".

""Ok" place to work - could be much better..."


Cons
-Research is not the focus. Keeping HQ happy -whatever 
that means- is. Just look at the number of publications 
coming out of Samsung: is really little.
-Leaders are seriously incompetent, but HR tops them. 
Management is selected according to very random criteria 
(age, years of experience) rather than ability to do 
actual research.
-Benefits are bad when compared to other companies. 
You start with 10 days of vacation, and you only get 
awarded 25.. after you have been in the company for 25 yrs!
-This is a korean company within Silicon Valley - literally. 
Keep this in mind before joining.

Advice to Management
You are in Silicon Valley: embrace it! Instead of having

environment...and yes, bring research back.

it does on safety. Several team members have been permanently

nationality in the plant. Hispanics are first chosen for overtime 
Hispanics are allowed to basically do as they please even if it 
involves receiving a paycheck without having to work and earn it 
which is why they call it " easy money" They are allowed to0 many 
breaks while others have to take up the slack for their poor work 
ethics. When someone complains to management it is a dead end street. 
Most supervisors and line leads are either married, close friends 
with or are Hispanic and some show discrimination towards other 
nationalities.

Advice to Management

Jun 3, 2016
Pros
Great compensation and benefits. In normal times there is 
visible and tangible reward for your effort and achievements. 
Excellent job mobility and flexibility for work and personal 
circumstances and a real team-oriented 'all in this together' 
attitude. Plus, there is an indescribable thrill to be 
working on the bleeding edge of the science, the technology, 
the process, etc. Intel remains a world-class technology innovator.
The majority, a smaller majority than before (pre 2010 ish), 
of people there are very very skilled, capable and productive. 
They are easily able to overcome the statistically necessary 
under-performers while they have a bad year, or two. It all 
works out as the teams naturally form a mix of skills and 
attitudes which complement each other. Over the long-term 
these mixes are more productive than homogeneous groups of 
excelling performers.
Famously, the sabbatical benefit is to die for. 
8 weeks paid sabbatical, no strings, every 7 years, or 
4 weeks every 4 years. Intelites count in 7-year increments. 
Plan it well, make use of it. DO NOT fritter it away 
on home improvements.
Cons
It all goes to hell in January & February. 
The Focal system encourages poor antisocial behaviors 
as employees compete for finite compensation crumbs which 
are distributed by a multi-tier rating and ranking system. 
All the objective behaviors of 10 months are tossed aside 
for subjective visibility-promoting activities in the 
critical 2 months with a healthy dose of lies and self-promotion. 
You are at the mercy of short term whims and transitory 
fads where the appearance of productivity outweighs 
the achievement of the whole 12 months. It is brutal. 
Sometimes you win; sometimes you lose. But nowadays 
losing carries a terminal prognosis.
All the above is flavored by a new positive discrimination 
towards underrepresented minorities (URMs) which by 
executive decree have preference for promotion, transfers, 
and in some measure the ranking benefits. 
Non-URMs have an additional hurdle of proving their unique 
ability to fit a role; URMs can fit anywhere and do not 
cost a department headcount budget for a period of time. 
Net-net is that if you are not a URM then hiring, transfer, 
and benefit opportunities narrow quickly. Already there are 
pockets of URMs which almost exclusively hire each other 
and even speak their own language in meetings to exclude 
employees not of that background.

Oct 15, 2017
Pros
Intel offers some good benefits, including HDHP with 
no monthly copay. Sabbatical is also a huge benefit. 
Depending on the group, you may be able to work with 
flex time and work from home days.
Cons
The new CFO is changing the work environment. Everything is 
in flux. Collaboration is no longer valued; the environment 
is more competitive. To be fair, this has always been 
somewhat true due to our yearly focal reviews with only 
the top couple of people can get above "successful." 
But when the CFO announces that there are too many people 
in finance and he is going to significantly restructure 
the organization (i.e. layoffs), it's disheartening.

"Sr. Electrical Engineer"
Pros
It's a large company with lots of resources. Good career 
advancement potential. You may be lucky and wind up with 
a good manager. The pay per year may be pretty good.
Cons
On the other hand, the pay per hour might not be. 
In many groups, they work you to death. Intel could be 
a good company to work for if you're young, energetic, 
compliant, not married (marriage councilors make a lot 
of money off of Intel employees), and you don't have a 
life or are willing to give up one. Be prepared to stay 
chained to your phone and laptop, even on vacation. 
The main thing is that your individual experience at 
Intel is almost completely up to the manager you 
happen to get. In 11 years, I've had both good and 
horrible managers. The problem with that is that 
HR policies and practices almost always favor the manager 
- even really bad ones. That's a systemic problem, and 
why I can't recommend working there.
Advice to Management
Get a soul. Live the values that you say are Intel values. 
Stop punishing people that actually practice them.

Pros
Large company with it's fingers in pretty much every technology. 
Some groups can be very fun/exciting to work in some 
can be down right dreadful. If you enjoy politics and 
games then this may be the place for you. It's very 
easy to move from group to group with-in the company. 
Great place for junior engineers to get started and 
learn a variety of technologies.
Cons
Serious disconnect between upper/lower management. 
Upper wants more risk taking and collaboration. 
Lower wants no risk, perfection from software deliveries 
and turf warfare. Every year it's "do more with even less" 
until Engineers hit a breaking point and leave groups, 
which just exasperates problems. The domino effect is 
very real when this happens and it can be difficult if 
you are the last person standing.
Advice to Management
Bring back some perks, lunch is cheaper off-site than in 
the cafe's. Great Place to Work was dismantled, no more

I have been working at Intel Corporation full-time (More than 5 years)
Pros
Great opportunities to get experience in project life cycles, 
engineering work flows, etc. Ideally if you're an 
RCG (Recent College Grad) for undergrad or masters. 
I don't know what the other employees are smoking 
that said the work life balance here is bad, that's wrong. 
The reason so many people just coast on through working 
here is because the work life balance is great. 
You see the same people coming in, doing their 9 to 5, 
taking hour + lunches with mutliple breaks 
for 15 to 20 or 30 minutes, leave early to pick up the kids etc. 
If you want to start a family and be around for 
the kids growing up, come on over! If you're younger and 
looking for a competitive work environment, 
look elsewhere.Show Less
Cons
The leadership here is completely lost. Engineering tools, 
flows, methodologies are incredibly out dated in many 
teams and orgs. Projects are guided by share holders and 
investors and not innovation. They say they thrive on 
innovation, but when you and you're colleagues make 
suggestions on ways to improve TTM (Time to market) 
for projects, new methodologies that the rest of industry 
is using, improved work flows, etc, and they 
keep saying that we cannot support such things or 
that we don't have time to make those changes without
affecting project timelines, that's a clear indication 
that they way they work here is not changing anytime soon. 
Even when they hired certain VP's by paying 25M+ for 
them to come in and whip engineerings butt in shape, 
still nothing has changed. The VP's talk the talk 
and say how we are revamping our core of engineering, 
but in the end, they bend over for the shareholders 
and will ride this money wave out until they're 
obligation is up and then bounce out. At engineering 
updates they are giving us EPS (Earnings per share) 
numbers and how project bla is going to make us money.
The pay is pretty mediocre. RSU's are grim. you won't 
break 10k over 4 for a quite a few years. 
Stock purchase is okay, capped at 5% base income. 
CEO always says "we pay fair, and in the middle of 
the range" or something along those lines. What that 
translates to is that we hire average to below 
average talent, meaning potentially myself included.
The company is in a cycle of hiring and then 
s/firing/head count reduction/g before quarter close 
to drive stock price up. then re-hiring.
Overall, employee moral is pretty damn low. 
A lot of people are interviewing, or looking else-where,
myself included. The coasters of the company are completely happy.
Advice to Management
Stop throwing money at our problems and buying up 
"leaders" in industry. Allow engineering teams to do 
what they do best and innovate and create new solutions 
without outside influence from what the share holders 
and investors want. You can see that all our management 
wants is that slight uptick in stock price right 
before quarterly earnings to show how great we did. 
Really we're just treading water. If you think your'e 
teams are doing so great, take the opportunity and 
skip talking to senior management and sit down with 
the engineers themselves and ask the same question. 
Ask for their honest opinion and recommendations and 
then compare that with what you're management says. 
I guarantee there will be gaps and differences.

"From the point of view of Software Engineer (Contract)"
Former Employee - Senior Software Engineer in Chandler, AZ
I worked at Intel Corporation (Less than a year)
Pros
Nice cafeteria and great food
Organized
Great d.space room with cool gadgets and resting area
Cons
Let me start by sharing demographics.
70% Indian, 29% Chinese , 1% Everyone Else
98% Male, 2%Female
As a contractor you a basically treated as 2nd class citizen . 
For example you must pay for each cup of coffee 
u consume (1.89$), you not allowed to drive bicycles, 
sick time off or any personal time off at all 
and referred to as "green badge". From the 
very beginning things were rather odd. When I started , 
i was left alone for about a week. No introductions 
to team members, no lunch , nothing. Out of boredom
i wrote a 20 proposal with visuals and backing stats 
how to improve the software i was assigned to. 
Well it was completely ignored , not even response 
to email acknowledging its existence. 
Indian manager kept polite , but very distant and 
dint wanna hear nothing about innovations or 
at least upgrading .net 4.0 to something more fresh. 
Oh well, ok fine. They dont use async , 
solid or design patterns. The code is working , 
well kinda - if you careful about clicks u good. 
They dont engage in technical discussions, 
code reviews or any kind active knowledge sharing. 
Tools such as Resharper , only out of you own pocket. 
Also had to bring my personal headphones and mic for 
conf calls. The work hours, and lunch time very strict 
and always had to start and finish day at the minutes 
precision. I was getting tired of paying for coffee 
and asked if i could bring my own coffee make. Nope. 
Long story short the place felt like prison. 
I cant say if all teams are like that, but mine was. 
If you are contractor : run .

"Take Employee Feedback to heart, and create cogent/actionable plan to restore integrity"
I worked at Intel Corporation full-time (More than 10 years)
Pros
Excellent Pay, and Excellent Talent Pool.
Cons
HR and management complacent about returning Intel to 
the great culture it once had.
Advice to Management
A board member should partner with Senior HR and Senior 
Management to develop a cogent action plan to address 
the serious deficiencies that hamper Intel's ability 
to act with Integrity with its employees, and take 
action based on employee feedback.
It's clear from all the employee feedback that the 
focal process is broken and is incapable for 
recognizing merit. Specific Recommendations that should 
be adopted are outlined below:
-Develop a work plan approach which requires collaboration 
with managers and ee's
Have work plan statused and updated monthly
-Provided quarterly assessment of ee performance 
to expectations this should build to the full year 
review to avoid the problem of ignoring full year 
performance and the need to create visibility and 
self promotion at the end of the focal year.
Include peer feedback to improve teamwork, and 
recognize those who contribute to improved teamwork 
and collaboration
Reform the open door investigation process:
-Outline the process for investigations and publish to all ee's
-Process should provide full reporting of 
findings to all participants most especially 
the accused employee should be copied on findings. 
In my case and with others findings were documented 
and placed in a secret ee file which I didn't have 
access too. This prevented me from setting the record 
straight about a false accusation of embezzling/stealing 
nearly $1M. All of my management were copied on the 
findings, but I was not. There are several other 
instances of this which have destroyed reputations and careers.
Adopt the recommendations provided by the fellow 
who outlined the issues with URM's Martin Luther King 
had it right - we should all be judged by the content 
of our character not the color of our skin or the 
presence or absence of breast tissue. People who are 
placed in positions they aren't capable of fulfilling, 
actually suffer significant self esteem and other 
issues as people around them see them struggle in an 
area out of their element. Their are many capable 
minorities and women at Intel, and I would be an advocate 
of enhanced programs to develop more of these people 
to create a more diverse workforce, but promoting 
people who aren't ready/capable hurts them and the 
groups they work in. Intel as a collective is diminished 
by the current policy....
As someone who cares about Intel and still holds 
significant stock I hope a program will be created 
to address the issues that have the culture in a 
rapid decline. These issues need to be addressed 
with a sense of urgency!
Best Wishes

"Overall a great place to work."
Current Employee - Systems Engineer in Folsom, CA
I have been working at Intel Corporation full-time (More than a year)
Pros
The people I've worked with are amazing. Smart, 
interested in being at work and extremely helpful. 
My direct manager and PM want me to succeed and 
have worked with me to make it happen.
Cons
Lot's of politics that gets pushed down 
the management chain. Some of the management chain 
is too hands on/micro manages.
Advice to Management
Let your engineers engineer. Don't let C-level 
management push products on the company. 
Let engineers give the input they're paid to give.

"Intel is not a fun place to work for Mechanical Engineers"
Current Employee - Staff Mechanical Engineer in Hillsboro, OR
Pros
Pay is above average for Oregon, good benefits. 
You get free drinks and fruit.
Cons
The company is really poorly managed. The work is 
super boring. Most of the work is made up emergencies 
to satisfy middle management internal politics and not 
satisfying Intel's customers. I think that Intel will 
have massive layoffs in the future. The culture/work is 
so internally focused and combative among the 
different teams. Mechanical Engineers are the lowest 
class of engineering at Intel and are treated accordingly.
Advice to Management
Stop the offshoring of jobs or only hiring URM's 
for USA jobs. Get rid of most of the MCM who are 
just hated among the common workers and replace them 
with credible, honest leaders. Start to focus on 
execution and not making the employees work like 
slaves doing meaningless work.

"Great employees, normal problems assoc with companies that use stack rank review process"
I worked at Intel Corporation full-time
Pros
Overall, nearly 90% of coworkers are outstanding. 
Great resources. Focus on deliverables and ability 
to question the routine, even from the top.
Cons
Stack rank promotes unhealthy competition, focus on 
"my accomplishments" at expense of genuine teamwork. 
Those that are comfortable with self-evangalization 
will thrive. If your not, you either adapt or get weeded out.
Advice to Management
Invest in lower and middle management.

I worked at Intel Corporation (More than 10 years)
Pros
Used to have excellent training and educational 
opportunities to grow technically
Used to be a respective brand name on resume
Used to have top notch talent
Cons
Clown car top level management.
Too many mis-steps and missed opportunities due to 
BK's cluelessness.
Huge amount of sub-par talent hired post 2005. 
These people do not ask questions and just do what

Aug 31, 2017
Pros
Stable, Meaningful Work, decent perks, friendly environment. 
Typical positives of a corporation I would imagine. 
Less oversight, ability to use a portion of your time 
to follow other passions.
Cons
The caliber of people is not always the highest. 
Because of less oversight, there are people who slack 
and leave work to get picked up by other people.
Advice to Management
To management, from my perspective, everything is a 
numbers manipulation game to spin and tweak the truth 
in order to make everything sound better than it really is. 
I think there are jobs where people do only this.

Cons
Does not promote social interaction except 
for quarterlies, which is paid by the employees,

the manager is bad.

Overall great, ended too soon."
Pros
You work with the best and the brightest. 
They help you to become the best you can be. 
Depending on where you work you might even have fun.
Cons
Politics and egos are in the way of excellence.

That person is to be your advocate. 
Many times they don't really support you. 
Especially when you outshine them.

I worked at Intel Corporation full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
Never been paid so much to do so little in my life. 
Nice facilities and a good cafeteria. 
I can't think of any more Pros
Cons
Watch your back very individual backstabbing environment. 
This starts at the top with the CEO and trickles down 
through lower level management. Many people in the 
local area are still jobless after being fired by Intel 
in the last 2 years. Intel is on a hiring spree but 
they won't hire us they'd rather bring in new people 
and have to spend a lot of money and time training them.

"Customer Marketing Manager"
I have been working at Intel Corporation full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
Decent Pay
Incredibly smart and hard working engineering organization
Global opportunities
Cons
Company not growing as quickly as it needs to maintain 
steady opportunities for progression
It is "old guard" of tech, which means the thinking can 
be a bit constrained in some of its traditional 
cpu businesses (note Intel has MANY businesses)
Advice to Management
BK is bringing in outside talent to fill gaps in bench. 
However, it is a reflection of management that gaps 
exist in the first place. Be willing to let small 
teams go autonomously into emerging fields--don't get 
stuck in the fallacy of entering new, unproven markets 
by thinking you can simply throw money at it to win.

I worked at Intel Corporation full-time
Pros
Joining Intel is everyone's dream. but dreams are not true 
or last only for short duration.
Cons
Intel is having the policy of regular reorg. Managers 
in Intel hire the new employee so that he can be 
sacrificed next. By this way, manager saves his own job 
and showing the company that he is good with the reduced headcount.
Advice to Management
- Don't hire people just to show world your contribution 
to reduce unemployment. You are also increasing unemployment 
by unnecessary head cut down.
- to boost short-term revenue, stop being brutal.
- To reduce the headcount, don't target junior employees also. 
But also check if unnecessary Manager is placed.

Pros
You will learn some very good engineering skills
Cons
Unreasonable work-life balance
Hostile work environment
Pettiness, vindictiveness, nepotism are all rampant and 
remain rampant to this day
Advice to Management
You have a culture problem of horrible HR policies and 
managers. I used to think it was odd that when people 
left Intel hating their jobs at Intel only to find the 
SAME job at a competitor they loved the jobs at the competitor, 
that is an Intel problem.
Good luck to those who want to work here. You will not 
last, they will force you out eventually.

'Pros
work from home/flexible hours, friendly down to earth coworkers, 
opportunities to travel worldwide, wearing multiple hats, 
fast paced environment
Cons
work/life balance - always understaffed, lack of direction 
from upper management, sexism rampant within business unit, 
management created toxic work environment'

'Pros
Decent pay and opportunities to grow
Cons
Terrible work environment and cube sizes were ridiculous'
https://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/AMD-Reviews-E15.htm

'Pros
- Incredibly smart people
- Incredibly passionate people
- Technical staff are held in high regard
- If you have a legitimate question, you can find the owner 
of a component (usually a Fellow or higher) and ask them 
about it -- no need to go through red tape
- The CEO (Lisa) is very down to earth and straight talking, 
unlike other companies I've worked at. 
Her chief officers are also very capable and competent.
- Making a comeback with their new productsShow Less
Cons
- Competent people often get pulled into work that's not their job
- Decision making is not decisive or timely
- Needs to hire more'


Pros
technically competent people and professional work environment
Cons
Extremely political which is primary driver of any growth. 
Hard work and competence not rewarded
https://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/AMD-Reviews-E15.htm

Pros
Best machines to work on, newest technologies, 
best-in-class software tools, best design flows with 
great support, exciting projects.
Cons
Management forces many engineers have a very narrow work focus; 
those with a desire to work on a broad set of tasks 
are frowned upon. Management oftentimes plays favorites, 
whether by age, race, or location.
https://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/AMD-Reviews-E15.htm

Pros
You will learn a lot and learn to prioritize your time. 
Very exciting time at AMD right now. Lots of growth and 
positive excitement about the future. Dr. Lisa Su's vision 
seems to be taking off in the right direction.
Cons
Staffing is limited due to budget constraints. 
Salaries are lower. If you want a raise, get another job. 
They will often throw money at you.
Advice to Management
Recognize employees for doing their jobs. 
Stop throwing money at people who are leaving. 
This reduces the money you can give to people 
who are engaged, working really hard, 
and making the work happen.


Pros
very relaxed job compared to Nvidia
Cons
Don't respect employee. 
Management doesn't take care of the employee

Pros
Benefits
Work life balance
company culture
Management team
Cons
Fluctuating performance of the company
Some nationalities are stronger in some regions.
Continuous reorganization


Pros
Lots of great people in the lower ranks.
Cons
Never felt job was secure. (layoffs were common and 
a lot of time they were badly planned and done)
Engineering often had leaks to the public, but 
management would never allow security to fix those leaks. 
They would rather not restrict engineering and 
have half the world know what they were doing before it was done.
Quite a few of their money saving moves ended up 
costing more in the end.
Advice to Management
Try looking at ways to cut costs that don't include 
just laying off staff every time you need money. 
Watch for better ways to control costs like not 
letting departments go out and buy equipment 
they really don't need at that time. Stop making 
changes just to make them


Pros
Great starting salary and benefits
Cons
Work environment doesn't promote growth
Absolutely no work life balance
Get ready to be married to your job


I worked at AMD full-time (More than a year)
Pros
There is no good reason to work at AMD (as an engineer)
Cons
Staffing is boom and bust - today they hire, 
tomorrow they lay off. Line management is engineering 
throwbacks so tread cautiously to stay on their good side. 
Be careful of your co-workers - they will throw you under 
the bus to save their own skin.
The work is all incremental changes to existing stuff. 
Not great for skills - the industry will outpace you.
Advice to Management
Take classes in team building and communication
https://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/AMD-Reviews-E15.htm


Pros
You can jump in, learn some good technology, 
but if you stay for long time the 'cons' would get 
on your way. Good luck!
Cons
High politics, low pay, management cares only 
about themselves and how to keep their budget tight.
https://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/AMD-Reviews-E15_P4.htm


Pros
The schedule is generally flexible and you are treated 
like a professional; left alone to get your work done.
Cons
There are so many meetings! Also things always are changing 
so it can be chaotic.
Advice to Management
It's generally a good place to work. But stop rewarding 
people for changing things just to change things. 
Implement stable processes and minimize meetings. 
They are crazy excessive.

Pros
Great people, professional culture, exciting products
Cons
AMD is always fighting for survival. Layoffs happen every few years.
https://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/AMD-Reviews-E15_P5.htm


Pros
They have many good people at this company but many 
would rather leave if there was another option.
Cons
Lots of dysfunction behind closed doors and so called managers. 
They talk about all this business they will win but it 
was very quiet internally on the biz dev end. 
They promise great growth and commitment 
to get you in then fall short of there promises. 
Another bad P&L year and the likes of 
Nvidia and others will be coming on strong soon... 
if they didn't have there x86 license they would be 
out of biz..get your cash and title up front or 
go elsewhere.
Advice to Management
Stop the spin and actually back up what you say and 
not just control P&L by cutting growth costs.. 
very short sighted and another failed strategy 
that will play out badly in time.
https://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/AMD-Reviews-E15_P5.htm


I worked at AMD full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
None I can think of
Cons
fierce politics, almost ruthless struggle between 
teams who compete, unstable, and dangerous future. 
People will set a trap on other people to sacrifices 
the unfortunate so they can be saved from next round of layoff
https://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/AMD-Reviews-E15_P6.htm


Pros
Not much to write about.
Cons
AMD has severe MANAGEMENT ISSUES. Stay away from this company.. 
Last month, they sent a bunch of offers for new employees 
to join. But, then they withdrew the offers, 
just 2 weeks before the join date due to change 
in business plans. In essence, they screwed the 
new hires even before they could have joined the company.
In my experience, They don't care about employees. 
Layoffs happen annually, and only the most desperate 
people tend to work at AMD. If you are desperate, 
go ahead take your chance, but your offer might get 
withdrawn even before you join the company.
Compensation is about 20% below market average.

Knowledgeable co-workers and good teamwork
Decent pay and benefits
Cons
Often very high pressure
Projects sometimes cancelled late in development cycle
Organizational churn
Design team saddled with a heavy-weight design 
flow that takes away from design time
Advice to Management

Cons

"Always interesting"
Current Employee - Senior Product Development Engineer in Austin, TX
I have been working at AMD full-time (More than 8 years)
Pros
I've been working at AMD for almost 10 years now in 
Product Development (PPE). There's always problems 
to tackle and encouragement for improvement, which 
keeps things interesting day to day.
Cons
We've been resource constrained for some years now. 
Work can obviously get stressful at times. Fighting 
fires is not out of the ordinary in PPE.
Advice to Management
i've seen co-workers of mine doing the same type of 
roles for years based on where they started, but 
it doesn't necessarily best match their skillset. 
I think a lot more could be done by management to 
help with the growth of the individual employee.
https://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/AMD-Reviews-E15_P7.htm



Pros
I was offered a good salary.
The manager I reported to in the system was nice to talk 
to and seemed understanding.
Sr Executives tries to be in touch with the grass root 
soldiers, but the attempts are going futile since even 
when someone speaks up, a lot gets covered up.
Cons
Since I joined AMD, each day of my life has been worse 
than the previous one. There is no training for 
processes and old more established employees 
do not share knowledge for job security purposes. 
I have 5 different bosses and they all manage 
my time and work. There is absolutely no sensitivity 
to important life incidents. Senior Management 
does nothing about the bully team members and managers. 
All they care is the bottom line. Work-life balance 
is non-existent.
Advice to Management

Here are some very basic advise-
1. Do something about the culture of the team.
2. Listen to people's grievances.
3. Stop the bullying.
4. Do something about the work life balance. It's just 
unfair to ask employees to put in extra hours and then 
raise an eyebrow if they need some flexibility.
5. This is 21st century America - Stop treating people 
like this is some third world country hundred years ago 
where people did not have rights!
Think why is there so much attrition in the team? Who is to blame?

I have been working at AMD full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
AMD has been in a lot of turmoil over the past few years, 
but it feels like it's turning around. 
Especially if you are in the RTG side (graphics), 
AMD can be a great place to work, especially with 
a good direct manager. Raja Koduri has proven to be 
a great leader and has accomplished a lot to turn 
around the culture and "vibe" within the company. 
There are plenty of opportunities to make an impact, 
especially at this point in time. This is pretty rare 
for a company of this size and age.Show Less
Cons
IT at this company has been getting a lot of attention, 
but doesn't seem to be improving. They continually 
prove to be far better at creating obstacles instead 
of solutions. It's easily the #1 complaint of both 
new employees and veterans at AMD. I am surprised that 
the top executives and management of infrastructure 
and IT have survived this long.
Advice to Management
Look at what RTG is doing and spread it to the whole company. 
IT/Infrastructure needs a reboot and new leadership.

Current Employee - Design Engineer II in Fort Collins, CO
I have been working at AMD full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
Work life balance and hours flexibility is better 
than any company I've ever worked at. The salaries 
are competitive maybe slightly below the small list 
of other large firms that offer similar types of work. 
Benefits are decent (don't expect a bonus). 
Upper management seems to have a reasonable roadmap 
and focus on earnings.
Cons
Middle management doesn't encourage the senior engineers 
to mentor the new hires. Communication and infrastructure 
is lacking, both personally and technically. 
Poor communication between teams and inside teams. 
Managers are former engineers who are great at 
programming but clueless on working with people. 
Promotions seem to be given at random. Roadmap changes 
frequently (for no reason, they just spuriously 
change product names which is confusing to engineers)
Advice to Management
Put some effort into training and communicating. 
This is company wide there's a severe lack of direction. 
And actually communicate instead of just scheduling more 
meetings where 1 person takes the entire discussion off-topic. 
You need to train both the employees and the management 
at having better people skills. Put effort into keeping 
the young talent and not just shipping the products asap. 
Actually monitor employees for burnout. A LOT of the 
younger folks want to grow/develop/contribute but 
I guarantee you if you keep ignoring us you're going to 
see some major brain drain to Apple and Intel.
Mandatory management and people-skills training for 
MTS and above. I guarantee if you made every SMTS and 
above devote 20% of their time to training MTS 
and below your productivity would increase and 
you'd actually ship parts faster.

I worked at AMD full-time
Pros
Competitive pay and good benefits. Also, 
beautiful campus with on-site cafe, Starbucks, 
gym and game systems. Other than a few bad apples, 
mostly great people to work with.
Cons
A lot of great people, but bad management made me 
dislike my job. My boss would do anything to make 
himself look good. It didn't matter how badly he 
treated others. That being said, there were great 
people too that I really enjoyed working with. Also, 
layoffs were constant.
Advice to Management
Many times management would set unrealistic goals. 
We did not have the resources needed to complete 
assigned projects in time.

"Good for contractors but not for FTE. If you are US citizen ,

contractors including flexible time schedule , 
good hourly pay for contractors , Over time pay, etc..
- offers good benefits including signing bonus and 
relocation package for full time employee.
- Honda car discount , pension plan .

If you are Full time

they wont stand by you with work issue. specially 
full time employee to contractor. As i said they 
take care more contractors.
- very old style work environment.
- pay way less then current market to Full time Employee.
-- too much restriction for full time employee. 
If you are allow to work in US for any employer, 
must have consider and think 1000 time to take full time position.

taking relocation package from them.
- As FTE whatever you have learned in orientation

Nov 8, 2017
Pros
A lot of smart and hard working people. You can learn from each other everyday. CEO is smart and have great vision to shift the business from GPU gaming to AI, deep learning, robotic, autonomous car, and professional VR. The company is leading the technology trend and the stock is doing super well.
Cons
C player middle management and they are just lazy functional managers. Very political and treating their staff as scapegoats for the mistakes they made. A lot of good employees left because of favoritism, unfair workload, inner circle politic, and lack of transparent communication.
Advice to Management
Job satisfaction and money satisfaction are equally important. Need to clean house those poor managers and provide fresh air to the working environment.

Interesting place to work at.
Nice to be a part of the cutting edge tech development.
Competitive compensation.

I have been working at NVIDIA full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
The company is growing fast and it's an exciting time to be at NVIDIA. The stock is on fire and everyone is thrilled about this. This is a great place to be if you are an intern, engineer, etc as NVIDIA is doing cutting-edge work that supports AI and Deep Learning industries.
Some ability to work from home but it depends on your manager. Being able to do this infers a trust relationship between manager and … Show More
Cons
It is nearly impossible to grow your career here. Little opportunity or support for transferring into other departments or roles.
Newer senior management are awash in politics and are more interested in building empires than in supporting their reports.
No yearly cash bonus. Instead you get RSUs that vest over 4 years. If you contribute to your ESPP plan, they use that in factoring how much RSUs you get at focal review time. Not quite fair as ESPP is voluntary. and can change mid-period.
Medical benefits are finally starting to compete with the rest of the valley but still lag on 401K contribution matching, cost of medical care for dependants, etc.
Educational benefits at Stanford are primarily for CS, EE, EEE, AI majors. There is nothing for management or marketing professionals under this program. There is a separate program that covers just over $5000/year for other education, but this won't cover an MBA. It might cover one or 1.5 classes a year at Stanford. I haven't heard of anyone getting their MBA covered through NVIDIA like at other companies I've worked for.
Lunches are supposed to be subsidized, but it's less costly to go out to eat at a restaurant. No snacks provided.
Because there is no official vacation time at NVIDIA, if you leave or are laid off and haven't used much vacation time, you've essentially lost it.
Meager to absent travel budgets. The management encourages those on global teams to just do video conferences to save money. CFO is constantly cutting costs and does a great job at this but sometimes we spend so much time on how to cut costs, or justifying expenses that we waste money in the lengthy discussion process.Show Less
Advice to Management
To the e-staff & upper management:
Better support your non-technical staff on the education side. Don't be afraid of letting employees grow and learn. Support and encourage lateral moves more. We are more successful as a company when we learn and can better support each other.
Intellectual honesty is dying quickly as you bring in lots of middle and upper management from other companies that aren't aligned with our historical culture.
These new hires aren't used to being honest about mistakes and lots is being swept under the carpet to keep you from seeing it. They don't want you to see where we're failing. The "everything is roses" song is getting old. You'd be surprised how much isn't working.
Bring in skip level and 180 meetings if you really want to learn more.

Well placed in the market with cutting edge products
Good cafetria
Cons
I have been working in IPP for a year now this is one of the worst group, culture in the group is bad.
1) When a new employee joins there is no lunch with team or no quarterly lunch or no team outing
2) They have outdated build infrastructure If you have come from top 20 fortune companies it is like completely downgrading yourself to 10 years back
3) migration to outdated platform where management and developers have no clue. I would blame management. Top management dont have a clue.
4) no free food, no snacks people coming from top 50 companies be aware there are no perks no onsite GYM. They give some lame reason if you suggest for it.
5) I am trying move since I have software background there are not many internal opportunities.
6) Finally for appraisal they give you very low RSU's and no bonuses. You better negotiate well before you comeShow Less
Advice to Management
Management of IPP set good culture with in the teams make sure new people are welcomed. Please provide competitive work environment.
Nvidia please start paying good perks, bonuses. ESPP will not retain the talent now it already stock is peak.
Please provide onsite GYM

 "You have to be ethenic or a man to move up."
 I have been working at U.S. Bank full-time (More than a year)

 Pros

 Was once a great place to work.

 Cons

 Our Manager was a joke. She didn’t even know about business banking at all.
 You would see Lisa once ever 4 months. Her dresses so tight and
 everything hanging out. Everyone was embarrassed for her.
 She brag how she stayed home all day. Then you have
 the boys club. Promote guys with no experience.
 Hard workers don’t even bother applying for other jobs.
 If your Ethenic or gay our Market President would have you promoted.
 She had a mouth of a trucker. Making fun of customers with
 district manager.Taking photos of the customers and
 laughing about it.Show Less

 Advice to Management

 Clean up this market. Hire qualified people who know business banking.
 You have lost real talent due to management. Employees who have
 been with the company and transferred here from other states.
 Some employees over 30 years of service.

 "Multiple titles"
  I worked at U.S. Bank full-time (More than 8 years)

  Pros

  The only good thing I can say is they gave me lots of experience
  that looks great on a resume.

  Cons

  It felt like high school. Gossiping, bullying, and being passed up
  for promotions because you are not a butt kisser. It must be
  a prerequisite to be a jerk before you can be a manager.
  Pay is very low. There was an annual bonus but managers would
  try to find any reason to write up employees around that
  time each year so that they did not have to give anyone
  a bonus or raise...unless your nose was brown.

  Advice to Management

  Promote from within based on experience and what a person knows.
  Not who they know. Pay attention when you have a large turnover
  in a department. It's usually due to bad management. Pay people
  more so you can retain employees with knowledge. Value your
  long term employees and show them they are appreciated.

 I worked at U.S. Bank full-time (More than a year)

 Pros

 Pay was favorable. Nice location.

 Cons

 AML Department was horrible and very very unorganized.
 The experience was like no other at the bank- lots of unfairness,
 predjudice, little to no training, procedures all over the place,
 unfriendly upper management.

 Advice to Management

 Please treat employees fair, show appreciation, do things
 to help morale and get policies and procedures in place.

 "Not everything that glitters is gold"
 I worked at U.S. Bank full-time (Less than a year)

 Pros

 Perks to your bank account if its with the bank. If you're
 an over achiever you'll do well. Provided with a month's worth of training.

 Cons

 The company doesn't listen very well to suggestions. Must meet
 sales goal or you'll get the boot after three months

 Advice to Management

 Listen to employee suggestions

 "Ok place to work, but not for me"
 I worked at U.S. Bank full-time (Less than a year)

 Pros

 Cons

 Unattainable sales quotas/expectations. Overtime is forbidden.
 Coaching is a joke, only done to appease management,
 not actually help you attain your goals.

 "your dreams don't take a back seat to budgeting with
 proper advice and planning"
  I worked at U.S. Bank full-time (More than 3 years)

 Pros

 Customer service perfection was the minimum required expectation;
 which, was a good target to aim for, but Selling products
 and handling cash as well as being trusted with
 sensitive information was empowering and challenging except,
 the balance of all three of these aims is interpreted
 differently by diverse managers.

 Cons

 micromanagement of multiple layers of bosses made
 a confusing and sometimes frustrating clash of management style
 and the company culture. the bosses I found self important
 and politically motivated. I loved the company, but I hated
 the inconsistencies and tenured managers who brought
 their pride over from the acquisition of other banks in
 the state of California.

 Advice to Management

 Give proper incentives, and be support of your employees;
 because, the pressure of performance is inherent in the position.
 Don't be arbitrary in what you want from your people,
 good customer service comes from having workers who know
 what is expected of them.

 "Solid bank to work for..... Culture.. not as strong as it should be."
 
 I have been working at U.S. Bank full-time (More than 5 years)

 Pros

 US Bank is a very stable company and there are some 
 very good people working within the organization. 
 The products and mission of the company is very positive 
 and focused to the customer. Research the team and people
 you would work with... that would make or break
 your experience at US Bank.

 Cons

 Being a very large bank, there are a lot of things that 
 take far too long to accomplish and their internal processes 
 and timelines are old and not very efficient. Communication 
 and access to resources and people at some areas of the bank 
 are over-worked and dis-like their jobs.

 Advice to Management

 Listen to what the customers want and how they want 
 to be treated. Get rid of the militaristic hierarcheal culture. 
 Some portions of the bank take that too far and 
 the culture is not healthy.

  Mar 1, 2018

 "Universal Banker"
 
 I worked at U.S. Bank full-time (Less than a year)

 Pros

 Team atmosphere, continuous review and reeducation through 
 On-Boarding process, Company Training Program and 
 Monthly Review Courses on Regulations and Updates to 
 current Regulations. Open Line of Communication with 
 Company and HR, Realistic Sales Goals and out of 
 box Opportunities to learn and grow.

 Cons

 The need to work on Saturdays when there was no Business need.

 Advice to Management

 Maintain open communication with Team Members, 
 it creates greater outcomes to many situations.

 "Poor work environment"
 I have been working at U.S. Bank full-time (Less than a year)

 Pros

 Some of the management are amazing and do really live up 
 to the core standards US Bank says they value.

 Most coworkers are awesome individuals to work with.

 Cons

 There are managers on the floor who refuse to help you 
 when you need questions answered.

 If they find out you are looking for a new job they will 
 find a way to fire you before you put in your two weeks- 
 this is what happened to me.

 Managers will find reasons to fire you if you stand up 
 for yourself and ask questions on why a process is done 
 a specific way - happened to my coworker.

 Do you remember the movie Mean Girls? This place is 
 exaxtly like Mean Girls.

 If someone on the leadership team doesn't like you they 
 will find ways to hound you in your work to make your 
 life complete hell.

 You can get in trouble for asking questions when 
 you are unsure of a procedure and don't want to make an error.

 If management's doesn't like how you explained something in 
 an email or on your notes they will call you a liar and 
 belittle you.Show Less

 Advice to Management

 To upper management, some of your managers need to be let go, 
 they are constantly belitting the people beneath them.

 Actually treate your employees like people and not numbers 
 and your employees will return the treatment 10 fold.

 "Corrupt and treacherous. Look elsewhere for employment"
 
 I worked at U.S. Bank full-time

 Pros

 I started with U.S. Bank excited to begin a new career 
 with a lot of advancement opportunities. This is a false "pro" 
 because the company puts on this front to gain as 
 many employees as they can.

 Cons

 I had court, documented and "allowed" by my manager. 
 A custodial case that I couldn't/wouldn't miss because of work. 
 I was then sick one day and my manager said that 
 the only way I could retain my position is by taking 
 a week's unpaid leave of absence. I didn't want to do 
 this but I'm not about to argue with management when 
 I'm trying to get through my 90 day probationary period. 
 Come to find out it was all just a front and I was 
 terminated within a week of returning from my unpaid week 
 that I was forced to take.Show Less

 Advice to Management

 Stop stepping on employees, they're who give you your jobs. 
 Don't set people up for failure through manipulative practices 
 and deceitful procedures. Luckily I'm better off now 
 but had I known what life was really like at US Bank 
 I wouldn't have wasted my time in the first place.

 "Absolutely horrible place to work but the pay was so well 
 that I made it work for so long"
 I have been working at U.S. Bank full-time (More than 8 years)

 Pros

 Honestly I stayed with this company for 8 years because 
 it paid a good wage and I was afraid to leave them but 
 after years of coming home with extreme anxiety 
 I realized leaving was the best thing possible. 
 They will be the next Wells Fargo because they refuse 
 to address their issues

 Cons

 Forced to do illegal things, anxiety like I can't even explain, 
 Cleveland District has horrible leadership

 Advice to Management

 Forcing employees to to stay in the branch during lunches, 
 retaliation when illegal things are brought to 
 Upper leadership's attention, deny customers loans based on color, 
 and trying to put restraining orders against little old ladies 
 because she didn't understand her statements and 
 calling the cops on her and her friend is sick and 
 disgusting so you figure it out

 "Bank is OK. Stay away from the Technology Operations and PMO teams."

 I worked at U.S. Bank full-time (More than a year)

 Pros

 -The bank is a good business and it is ethical.
 -The new leadership knows where to go from here.
 -The business has a strong foundation.
 -Diversity programs are above average.

 Cons

 - The Technology and Operations group is a hostile 
   world of politics where leadership is very mediocre.
 - There is no sense of camaraderie or efforts to drive team bonding.
 - Accomplishments are never celebrated. Failure is punished harshly.
 - Meritocracy is nonexistent.
 - In over 18 months I never saw the CIO in person, 
   so it speaks to the kind of leadership portrayed.
 - People take years to get promoted despite their hard work. 
   You become a number and it requires playing politics and 
   being likable to the execs if you want a chance to move up.Show Less

 Advice to Management

 - The longer the toxic practices continue, the more top 
   talent you will lose and there will be a moment when 
   you will no longer be able to control the mess and chaos.

 "Financial Advisor"
 Pros

 There legitimately were no pros. This is the first 
 employment experience I've ever had that I knew it was 
 a mistake within weeks of starting there.

 Cons

 The worst employment experience I've ever had, hand down. 
 I was lied to in order to get me to leave my previous employer 
 and received absolutely zero support once I started with 
 the company. Once I started, there we other advisors from 
 the same company selling against me, which cost the bank 
 a multi million dollar customer relationship. 
 The company's tech is atrocious and the support is 
 non-existent across the board. Wouldn't recommend
 this company to anyone.

  Feb 13, 2018

 "Branch Manager"
 I worked at U.S. Bank full-time

 Pros

 There were very few pros to working for this company.

 Cons

 Upper management in the Kentucky market was horrible to 
 work for with no people skills. Expected you to hit 
 unobtainable goals by any means possible. Employees 
 were berated daily on sales calls if behind on goals. 
 The culture in this market is one of fear and dread. 
 Benefits and pay were below average for the size company

 Advice to Management

 All I can say is that there should have been some kind of 
 emotional intelligence training required for their management.

 Cons

 Pros

 8. Poor communication in same organizationShow Less

 Advice to Management

 Listen to your employees, have your employees back even 
 when they are wrong. Do not call out and correct 
 your employees during a large meeting, this destroys 
 their credibility and makes your position look bad. 
 Work on understanding the tasks your assigning your employees, 
 and if your manager gives you a task to hand to 
 your associates don't be afraid to give it to someone on 
 the team that isn't known for doing that type of task, 
 challenge them.

 "Don’t come here if you want to make a career in banking"
 I have been working at U.S. Bank full-time (More than 3 years)

 Pros

 It gets the bills paid. Flexible hours. That’s the only pros 
 I can think of when i think of US Bank

 Cons

 This company is turning into the new WELLS FARGO. 
 It demands so much from their employees but the pay doesn’t 
 match what they want done. Upper management only care 
 about themselves. They’re a lot managers who SHOULD 
 not be managers. Then you also have people who have been 
 there for YEARS who aren’t managers. It’s all about 
 a number when you work for this bank. A lot of favoritism. 
 Overall if you are looking for a rewarding career 
 I wouldn’t choose this place. They sell you in the interview 
 if they like you to make it seem one way. 
 But after you work there for some time you come to 
 the realization this company is heading in the wrong direction.Show Less

 Advice to Management

 Career advancement should be more concentrated on rather 
 than making sure the “pipeline” is full of loans 
 to make your bonuses. I shared my career path with 
 a certain someone in upper management and they completely 
 blew me off like I’m just “another employee”.

 "Loved it.... at first."
 
 I worked at U.S. Bank full-time (More than a year)

 Pros

 Good company if you’re a Teller. Good pay. Cheap insurance. 
 The customers are generally nice and so are your coworkers. 
 You’re in a grocery store so lots to pick from for food.

 Cons

 Stay away from banker positions, it’s downhill from there. 
 Stay away from in-store locations. Not allowed to have chair. 
 Must stand all day. No lunch breaks (very rarely are you fully staffed). 
 Normal shift is 9:45-7:00. Thursday’s are 9:00-7:00. 
 Days are too long. Job is mentally exhausting. 
 No work/home balance, you’ll never see your family if you work here.

 Pros

 They paid on time. Mostly. I will add a few more words

 Cons

 If you like workplace bullying and other intimidation, 
 this is your place. I’ve seen women and minorities 
 bullied at meetings and the target of a whisper campaign 
 behind their backs. Frequent threats of firing. 
 I’ve been in meetings where supervisors agree with stakeholders, 
 and then convene a follow on meeting of staff where 
 these stakeholders are condemned.

 "Relationship manager Operations Marketing Bank Branded cards"

 I worked at U.S. Bank full-time (More than 5 years)

 Pros

 You have to kill someone to not be promoted. Short hours.

 Cons

 Pay is low. Large and burecratic. Pay is low. 
 Go getters leave after they have a year or two of experience 
 leaving the dregs for employees. Unenlightened managment. 
 Management does not adjust to the market place. 
 As soon as someone figures out how to eat their cheese 
 they are done but it will require the smaller more agile 
 firms to lobby congress to remove the benefits that 
 congress gives to larger banks. They dont really have

 "Personal Banker Assistant Manager Mortgage Originator"
 I worked at U.S. Bank full-time (More than 5 years)

 Pros

 There are no pros on the bank side. 
 Rarely there are individuals on other business lines that 
 will treat you with fairness and respect.

 Cons

 The worst place anyone of male middle eastern decent 
 would find himself working for. At the San Diego 
 central district the bank openly allowed racial and 
 religious discrimination at unbelievable levels. 
 With solid and exceptional performance and dedication 
 to work I personally experienced firsthand the most 
 inhumane treatment of a middle eastern decent employee 
 from the district management to HR. I was told in 
 one instance in 2014 at an interview for branch management 
 that I had English literacy issues which limited 
 my abilities to perform. That's given the fact 
 I was a 3.8 GPA polisi graduate.

 "Retaliation for questioning work status of Indian contractor"

 Pros

 Use US Bank work experience as baseline to compare better jobs.

 Cons

 Retaliation for asking about work status of Indian contractor. 
 Personnel will tell lies to protect mangers. 
 Personnel department has no integrity.

 Advice to Management

 You are suppose to protect employee's from retaliation. 
 The reality is do not ever ask about work status of 
 over seas contractors. US Bank will find an excuse

 but in reality they make up their ethics as they go.

 Pros

 Solid company. Conservative and great judgment with financial 
 and risk decisions. Sets the standard and is not 
 a follower fads/trends. High integrity, strong core values, 
 shares lots of information about the company and 
 financial information. Very compassion teammates.

 Cons

 Frugal to a point of fault. Technology too far 
 behind competitors (only now left Lotus Notes). 
 Does not compensate employees very well for what is expected. 
 Slow to accomplish anything due to 
 too many levels of approvals for even small amounts or 
 minor changes. Starting to be cut throat between groups and divisions.

 Advice to Management

 You are allowing other banks practices to change 
 the culture at U.S. Bank in a negative way. 
 Don't underestimate the power of strong compensation 
 to keep yourself from becoming a training ground for other banks. 
 You are frugal to a point of fault. Technology is

  Will make roles just for you. Gotta hit the quota.

  Cons

  Unethical bank even though they say the are the most ethical. 
  Employees are doing unethical procedures. 
  Uppers know what is going on. Numbers for their bonus is all that matters.

  Advice to Management

  Not the same bank it was. You do not staff enough people 
  in the branches. Gotta make money for the shareholder. 
  New CEO only cares about that. The systems there are a joke. 
  They update it but no beta testing. It not true banking anymore.

 "One of the Best Banks to Work For"
 I have been working at U.S. Bank full-time

 Pros

 This company eats, breathes and sleeps its Code of Ethics. 
 It doesn't seem like such an important trait in a company 
 until you look in the headlines and see the tribulations 
 other companies are facing due to a lack of moral compass.

 Cons

 Team management wants to be too hands on but doesn't have 
 the time to complete tasks timely.

 Advice to Management

 This company, along with the rest of the banking industry 
 doesn't seem to prioritize technology. 
 In this age of constant threat from hacking, 
 this industry must become better. Also, make more of an effort 
 to accommodate employees who struggle with longer commute times 
 and higher costs. A $35 subsidy for transportation helps, 
 but you need to be open to more creative solutions 
 that benefit the employee.

  "Students Beware"
  I have been working at U.S. Bank full-time (More than a year)

  Pros

  immediate management
  coworkers
  pay rate
  vacation right at hire
  community involvement

  Cons

  don't hold to promises made
  terrible to try and work out a school schedule, 
  even though its a 24hr call center
  upper management is near impossible to talk to about issues
  scheduling team takes absolutely nothing into consideration, 
  changing schedules with no notice

  Advice to Management

  Treat your employees like people instead of things. 
  I have never had to prove I was actually taking college classes 
  to my employers before and then still have to beg 
  to get hours within my availability. News flash. 
  Homework is a thing and stressing about a job really makes 
  it difficult to accomplish.

  Quit with the "sorry, sucks to be you mindset 
  the scheduling team seems to have." realize 
  that employees have lives and things to do outside the job, 
  especially students. We shouldn't have to prove anything and 
  then get treated like a nuisance when we get the required info.

  Cons

  Some very good managers, but the bad managers far 
  outweigh the good. Not a lot of promotions from within

  "Scheduling not flexible"
  I worked at U.S. Bank full-time (More than a year)

  Pros

  The pay was ok. After some discussion with upper management, 
  they accommodated my breast pumping schedule and provided me 
  a private room to do so. The facility I worked in 
  also had a cafeteria in the building which made lunch breaks 
  convenient since you didn't have to leave the building.

  Cons

  Parking was a pain. Show up 15-20 minutes extra early 
  to find a spot. They play favorites here. 
  Management will tell you they cannot change your schedule 
  NO MATTER WHAT, but will change it for some people 
  if you produce enough sales. Its pretty much all about sales 
  and pushing credit products on customers and less 
  about customer service.


   Sep 28, 2017
  "Teller"
  I worked at U.S. Bank full-time (More than a year)

  Pros

  Opportunities to work your way up are a plus. 
  They love promoting from within. It's really nice 
  to have the paid time off for holidays and vacation. 
  The benefits are decent, not the best but are okay.

  Cons

  As a teller, I had to stay on my feet all the time, 
  even when I had 10 hour days. The aching feet just 
  made me feel like I was working a fast food job or something, 
  not in an office.
  At my particular office there was a manager who was 
  pretty demeaning and intolerable, but was a kiss up 
  to everyone superior to them. So when there were complaints 
  about this person, the superiors couldn't see it and 
  it wasn't taken seriously.
  Also, huge emphasis placed on sales. I get it, it is 
  how the branch makes money. However, this pressure 
  was put on at the most inopportune times. 
  We would be completely short staffed with a line to 
  the door for a large chunk of the day and then 
  would be asked why we didn't sell any credit cards 
  that day... it was kind of silly.
  Speaking of short staffed... the same amount of work 
  is expected of a short staffed branch. 
  That may just be what employers tend to do these days though. 
  But yes, if your employees keep jumping ship then 
  it is your responsibility to pick up their slack and 
  senior management won't hire anyone new to replace them.

  A lot of pressure to reach goals.

  "It's a job"
  I worked at U.S. Bank full-time (More than 10 years)

  Pros

  It was a steady paycheck, until the lay-off.

  Cons

  They have yearly internal surveys where they are always 
  told that the salary, benefits, and computer equipment is below par. 
  They only address things that are free, like "communication" 
  by forcing everyone to attend a conference call where 
  a VP babbles about how we need to make more money.

  They regularly have small to mid-sized layoffs that 
  rarely make the news. These aren't about streamlining, 
  but more about cutting out experienced employees and 
  rehiring recent college grads for a fraction of the cost. 
  Funny how management never is laid off though, 
  just moved around to be ineffectual in a new department.Show Less

  Cons

  It is a slap on the face to know that 
  a brand new employee banker 2 makes just a dollar under 
  the assistant manager who has given 5 years to the company. 
  Someone who has saved the company thousands of dollars by stopping fraud. 
  Someone who has worked a full days 10am-7pm with 
  a brand new employee who can not assist with anything 
  during the busiest time of the month. Someone who is 
  reliable and dependable. It is very unfair to 
  the seniored employees to know that new employees some 
  without experience get paid about the same as you and 
  its actually taken you years to get the minimal company raises.
  Benefits are very costly for employees.Show Less

  Advice to Management

  Managers are exempt- but yet dont work their full 40 hours. 
  Some like to fluff the schedule to make it seem like 
  they are working but yet leave at 12pm. 
  They leave early prentending they are sick but dont use sick time. 
  there should be a universal time logging even for 
  exempt employees brcause it is unfair to have a certain power and abuse it.
  Company should talk to their employees from time 
  to time to see if things are going well 
  in their particular branch or office. 
  There are some manager s that like to belittle other employees 
  and things dont get reported due to fear of loosing ones job and retaliation.

   Cons

   Management is set in their ways, favoritism is apparent, 
   HR and department has high turn over. Etc.

   Advice to Management

   Understand that high employee turnover has a lot to do 
   with your favoritism and poor judgment. When things change,

  Pros

  There is fantastic job stability, I have never once feared 
  being laid off and have seen employees even get positioned 
  other places to avoid it. It is a very honest company. 
  Ethical sales practices, they do not put large amounts of 
  sales pressure on employees. They advocate for their customers.

  Cons

  There is very poor work life balance. 
  It is hard to move up as there are limited opportunities (in my position) 
  this may vary with others. 
  They tend to hire externally which contributes to that. 
  Large amounts of delegation unrelated to position 
  without proper compensation. 
  The technology is dated and slow, but it works.

  I have been working at U.S. Bank full-time (More than 3 years)

  Pros

  Steady paycheck; will sometimes pay for you to get 
  professional certifications if it relates to your job.

  Cons

  They underpay compared to competitors & they are extremely 
  tight-laced with amenities. At our office, 
  some employees pool resources to go get Costco coffee for 
  the breakroom because -nothing- is provided by the bank. 
  I'm surprised they don't charge us for toilet paper.

  They have annual internal surveys that are mandatory 
  to take & they make a huge deal out of everyone taking them, 
  yet every year they ignore all of the negative points & 
  instead we get treated to a time-wasting conference call 
  where they tell us to focus on 'communication.' 
  To foster 'communication,' they do things like make bulletin boards 
  where employees can post 'two truths and a lie' about themselves 
  for other employees to guess, they have 'tie-dye shirt day,' 
  and then sometimes they'll have team togetherness days where 
  you do things like construct gingerbread houses 
  to display around the office like it's an elementary school.

  Management is highly ineffectual yet never laid off. 
  They just get moved to manage a new team while their employees 
  who did all their work for them get told how there isn't enough 
  in the budget to give them a cost of living raise this year. 
  You get promoted based on how long you've been toiling away 
  at your dead-end job & who you've made friends with, not on merit.

  Healthcare is a complete joke, like all their other benefits.

  Their technology is years behind. This week they literally 
  proudly announced that they are implementing an initiative 
  for customer account files to be 'paperless' 
  so people don't have to run around trying to find files anymore! 
  (Yes, there are emails daily from someone trying to find file #XXXX) 
  They also took 15 minutes out of the latest quarterly meeting 
  to explain to a few hundred people how MICROSOFT OUTLOOK works 
  because apparently such new-fangled email technology is just 
  too darned hard for everyone at the bank to figure out 
  (they just rolled it out this year).

  Speaking of rollouts: be prepared for your entire computer 
  to stop working any time they decide to force 
  an install of something new on your machine! 
  And don't expect tech support to be of much use either.

  "Have fun with all the goals or you'll be let go."
  I have been working at U.S. Bank full-time

  Pros

  It is a good company to work for. Good benefits and 401(k).

  Cons

  The goals are getting outrageous. All ways changing and enforced. 
  My manager is always down my throat about selling credit cards or 
  some sort of loan. It's getting very hard to keep doing the job.

  Advice to Management

  Relax on the sales goals. I understand the need to get income 
  but you are turning customers away with always being asked 
  about credit cards or another product.

  "Branch manager"
   I have been working at U.S. Bank full-time (Less than a year)

   Pros

   Employees, great customers, branch locations, ATM Access, 
   Online Banking

   Cons

   Retaliate against employees who speak against management and 
   their lack of leadership!

   Advice to Management

   Take ownership of your lack of leadership and don't retaliate 
   against employees who want to make the bank better than they found it!!!

  "Great larger bank to work at"
  I worked at U.S. Bank full-time

  Pros

  US Bank provides numerous opportunities to advance in the company.

  Cons

  other US Bank Bankers.

   I worked at U.S. Bank full-time (More than 5 years)

   Pros

   Referrals from branches add to client base, creating more business

   Cons

   Always working, low pay (compared to other mortgage companies), 
   underwriting makes it difficult to get loans approved, 
   takes way longer than other mortgage companies. 
   Employees seem to work against each other

   Advice to Management

   Change the pay structure to be more competitive with

   "tax accountant 3"
   I worked at U.S. Bank full-time (More than a year)

   Pros

   Great group of people to work with. 
   Everyone expressed great interest in tax laws and 
   how they applied to our work. Well organized department.

   Cons

   The computers were not updated as often as they should have been. 
   There was a mass layoff, and we were informed only t
   hirty days in advance.

   Advice to Management

   Management should have more respect for the knowledge and 
   skills required for doing trust taxes and related work. 
   Management outsourced the work to PWC without thinking 
   about the value of the tax knowledge of the people who were displaced.

"Good but forget technology and salary"
 Pros

 Management is generally in tune with employees and 
 does a good job recognizing strong performance. 
 Leadership is strong from the top on down and has done 
 a great job avoiding many pitfalls that have brought 
 other banks to the ground. Pretty positive work environment, 
 and feels more community oriented than larger banks, 
 both with other employees and with customers. 
 Incentives, bonuses, etc are not too bad
 if you actually reach them.

 Cons

 Any computer, printer, etc that you will use was made before 1973. 
 Facilities are not as nice as other banks with 
 newer buildings and fixtures. 
 Conservative lending practices are good long term, 
 but can be frustrating on a day-to-day basis. 
 Salaries are not nearly at the level of other banks and 
 make it hard to keep the most productive people. 
 Sometimes contests and campaigns have arbitrary rules 
 that prevent winning teams from actually receiving anything 
 for their efforts. Not enough locations in the area 
 to really compare with other large, 
 national banks in terms of convenience.Show Less

 Advice to Management

 I know the rule is every dollar you put in must yield 
 at least 3 back, but crunch the numbers again and figure out 
 a way to make some raises and buy some new stuff. 
 On a better note, keep up the positive stewardship from 
 the top on down and help continue to main our company's 
 strong reputation and financial position.

  "Greatful for the stability, but loathe how certain managers 
  dumb-down employees. Internal advancement is difficult."
  Pros

  Outstanding lending philosophy and culture. Customer advocacy. 
  Stability. Certain managers are outstanding and VERY over qualified 
  for their respective positions.

  Cons

  Poor internal advancement and development. 
  Most managers prefer external candidates. Limiteed incentives 
  for graduate education.

  Advice to Management

  Don't hire managers from other lending institutions 
  that were near failure (i.e. Fifth Third; GE; BOA) 
  instead of promoting dedicated, qualified internal applicants. 
  Management style needs to be more consistent. 
  Some divisions are great to work for, others are leaderless 
  and dumbed down.

   "READ THIS - DO NOT WORK HERE"
   Pros

   Good medical and dental. That's it

   Cons

   I have a friend who trains new bankers at Chase. 
   A lot of them come from other banks. He said word to word 
   "It's weird to see how much former US Bank Employees 
   hated their work place."
   I personally worked for 3 different banks. 
   Compared to other banks, this is a bad place to work.

   *Managers with no ethic. They make you deceive people 
   and sell cheap stuff they don't need.
   Also, they don't give you any tools you need.
   *Old tech.
   *Training is horrible

   Advice to Management

   "Could be great, missed opportunity"
   I worked at Capital One full-time (More than a year)

   Pros

   Great benefits. Lots of travel opportunity. 
   Great for some (not for everyone)— especially for people 
   avoiding their families or trying to have an affair.

   If you don't like your current team, you can often move 
   to another one or relocate to another location.

   Great opportunity to learn new skills.
   Some of the leadership is inspiring.
   Nice workspaces for some.

   Cons

   Gender-biased, misguided, disorganized, 
   competitive structure, reorgs frequent

   This place is trying to be a start-up with 
   huge enterprise problems—it's awkward. Makes for 
   a lot of wasted effort for people trying to get things 
   done in an innovative way with business-side making 
   the last judgment. Shiny object syndrome.
   Emphasis on PR moments over fixing real problems.

   Performance reviews lend to a gender- or personality-bias 
   when it comes to promotions. Women and/or introverts 
   often get the short end of the stick unless they have 
   a great/shark managers. I've seen the most 
   ineffective game-players get promoted over competent and 
   effective peers who seemed to get punished 
   for actually getting things done and not wasting 
   their energy dick-swinging or taking unnecessary travel. 
   In effect, a lot of the people promoted do not make 
   for the best leadership. Bad management.

   Too many cooks in the kitchen with product or design, 
   not enough project managers (or none at all).

   Constant reorganization is exhausting and disorienting. 
   Nobody knows what's going on. Deflates spirit and 
   doesn't help progress.Show Less

   Advice to Management

   Pay attention. Don't just spend money on diversity & 
   inclusion training — really implement some change in the culture.

   Get organized. Lessen reorgs. Stop acquiring other companies 
   before you can handle what you have.

   You are not a tech company or a start up, just face it. 
   Just be a better company, spend the money on hiring 
   better engineers instead of on business people from 
   failed start-ups who don't know how to work effectively 
   in enterprise environments.


  "C1's Performance Management debacle is reason enough to look elsewhere"
   I have been working at Capital One full-time (More than 3 years)

   Pros

   Innovative Tech Company with good senior management

   Cons

   Performance Management is on a bell curve and 
   your 1-5 rating greatly affects your career trajectory, 
   salary and bonus. As a result, associates are forced 
   to "play the game" of doing anything they can to appear 
   to be a little better than their peers. 
   This creates a culture where employees routinely take credit 
   for other employees work including managers 
   who are playing the same game as their subordinates. 
   All in it creates a toxic work atmosphere.Show Less

   Advice to Management

   You fancy Capital One as a cutting edge technology company 
   but your performance management system is about 20 years 
   behind what cutting edge technology companies are doing today.

   "Disregard their IT recruiting pitch -- Capital One is a bank, 
   not a startup, not an IT company."

   I have been working at Capital One full-time (More than 3 years)

   Pros

   Great work life balance, benefits are world-class. 
   Resources are not an issue.

   Cons

   Unbalanced ethnicity distribution, 
   if you like working in Little India, C1 is for you.

   Advice to Management

   Remove politics and brown-nosing from 
   what should be engineering decisions, led by engineers, 
   not managers whose idea of technical rigor is a gantt chart.

   The majority of middle management are rent seekers... 
   they're not needed, even for downturn buffer. 
   Dump them, at least double market cap as a result.

   the job I'm doing is not what I interviewed for. 
   I've also been bounced around from one team to another with 
   no constructive criticism.

    You feel like you are part of a team. 
    It is great to work for a company that makes you feel 
    as if your opininon matters and that they are not going 
    to take what you have to say and cast it aside. 
    It is important to feel like you make a difference and

    "Bank of America is a bully."
    Pros

    The benefits are some of the best around. 
    They offer vision, dental, and medical and the cost varies 
    by how much you want to spend every month. 
    They also provide paid vacations, 401k, and health accounts. 
    Associate discounts on credit cards are also decent.

    Cons

    The employees are the last thing they think about. 
    Do not expect a raise unless you makes sales, sales, sales. 
    Experience, knowledge, reliability means nothing to them. 
    They train you to do one thing, 
    but expect you to do the complete opposite just so 
    you can meet their numbers. No respect is given to employees. 
    When employees are asked for feedback about 
    what is working and what is not, they ignore any input 
    if it doesn't follow their agenda.Show Less

    Pros

    I was able to advance from a sales assistant postion 
    to a management position over the course of my career.
    Initially I had a fantastic support system with the leadership. 
    They allowed and encouraged advancement. 
    The benefits were great, the medical, 401k and stock options. 
    The vacation allowence was also fair and 
    they recently implemented a fair bonus system. 
    They had training meetings which were extremely helpful 
    to my job and well executed. 
    I was given the support I needed to succeed, 
    especially as one began to take on management responsibilities. 
    They helped to educate the leadership team on hiring and coaching. 
    This was within the first several of my career with them. 
    I did have a fantastic manager who was a very compentent leader 
    andI believe that was a huge key to my success there. 
    There were many good managers and a talented leadership team 
    on both the investment and bank side which worked 
    very closely together,Show Less

    Cons

    With the arrival of former Morgan Stanley associates 
    in Senior upper management positions,the leadership in 
    the individual markets also started to change. 
    Unfortunately this was not for the better of the individual markets. 
    The state of Florida lost every single market manager. 
    There was a huge push to put in managers 
    that were good recruiters but not good leaders. 
    This shift brought on managers 
    that were not well equipt to run the day to day business, 
    They were out of the office recruiting and 
    because of this the markets suffered a lack of leadership and daily support. 
    There were some very good leaders that were forced out and 
    this changed the markets a great deal. 
    The compensation and goals also changed for 
    the advisors every year and this made things very challenging. 
    In my particular postion the workload was overbearing, and 
    I often heard the same from my counterparts across the country.

 Jun 21, 2013 https://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/Google-Reviews-E9079.htm :
 Cons
  1)Work/life balance. What balance? All those perks and benefits are an illusion.
    They keep you at work and they help you to be more productive. I've never met
    anybody at Google who actually time off on weekends or on vacations. You may
    not hear management say, "You have to work on weekends/vacations" but, they
    set the culture by doing so - and it inevitably trickles down. I don't know
    if Google inadvertently hires the work-a-holics or if they create work-a-holics
    in us. Regardless, I have seen way too many of the following: marriages fall
    apart, colleagues choosing work and projects over family, colleagues getting
    physically sick and ill because of stress, colleagues crying while at work
    because of the stress, colleagues shooting out emails at midnight, 1am, 2am,
    3am. It is absolutely ridiculous and something needs to change.
 2)Poor management. I think the issue is that, a majority of people love Google
   because they get to work on interesting technical problems - and these are the
   people that see little value in learning how to develop emotional intelligence.
   Perhaps they enjoy technical problems because people are too "difficult."
   People are promoted into management positions - not because they actually know
   how to lead/manage, but because they happen to be smart or because there is no
   other path to grow into. So there is a layer of intelligent individuals who are
   horrible managers and leaders. Yet, there is no value system to actually do
   anything about that because "emotional intelligence" or "adaptive leadership"
   are not taken seriously.
  3)Jerks. Sure, there are a lot of brilliant people - but, sadly, there are also
    a lot of jerks (and, many times, they are one and the same). Years ago, that
    wasn't the case. I don't know if the pool of candidates is getting smaller, or
    maybe all the folks with great personalities cashed out and left, or maybe
    people are getting burned out and it's wearing on their personality and patience.
    I've heard stories of managers straight-up cussing out their employees and
    intimidating/scaring their employees into compliance.
  4)It's a giant company now and, inevitably, it has become slower moving and is
    now layered with process and bureaucracy. So many political battles, empire
    building, territory grabbing. Google says, "Don't be evil." But, that practice
    doesn't seem to be put into place when it comes to internal practices. :(Show Less
  Advice to Management
  1)Don't dismiss emotional intelligence and adaptive leadership. They're not just
    catch phases. You need great managers and leaders in order to build great
    companies and develop great employees. The people who may be brilliant at
    solving technical issues may not be (and are most often, not) the best
    candidates for management.
  2)Do something about that work-ife balance. Don't just have a bunch of pow-wows
    and tech talks and discussions about it. Leadership should actually model it.
    Consider re-evaluating how work is done; what processes are in place that are
    inefficient and ineffective and need to be updated or removed?
  3)Don't forget that there is already a pool of incredibly talented people within
    the company. If career development is really a goal at Google, then do it.
    Don't just hire from the outside. Take the time to help your employees develop
    their careers - then maybe you won't lose some of the great ones, and maybe you'll
    have prevent some of that burn out and disillusionment.

Management needs to treat staff better, looking at "no Mc" and "off days spent at STC" is not a benchmark
to determine promotions. 
Your people (staff) make the business. SIA has lost a lot of valuable senior staff due to the lack of empathy
and value towards crew.
