Advantech Reviews

Pros

The people at Advantech are amazing (besides upper management). Everyone is sweet and a pleasure to be around. The company is has around 60+ employees.

The company culture is far off from an American one. The company is a Taiwanese company but if you're going to have a company in the States, learn the culture.

Care about your people.

Pros

Advantech is a market leader in their field of Embedded Computing Solutions. With a fairly good R&D team. All Sales people have the Autonomy to run their territories as long as things are going well.

Cons

No field support or coaching from upper management. I saw my DM a total of 4 times in my first year (includes 2 times at full company meeting). Sales people have to take the blame internally and be responsible for mistakes make by application engineers and factory engineers

Advice to Senior Management

Provide more tools for Sales people to be successful allow sales management to travel more with Field Sales Engineers. VP of Sales should be more open to concerns from the field

Pros

Cons

you have to fight alone

Advice to Senior Management
