Allegro Wireless Reviews

Pros

Good introduction for juniors and newbies enterprise system design and architecture with mobile device integration. Offers access to latest hardened devices from Motorola/Symbol and Intermec. Ability to experiment on latest mobile devices, smart phones and tablets.

Cons

No marketing focus, a shotgun approach to business. Poor training, basically learn as you go in a sink or swim environment. No internal organization, everything is directly managed from the senior level. Extreme hours are the norm not the exception.

Advice to Senior Management

Delegate authority and get focused

Long hours, low pay, poor benefits.

Upper management needs to instill more trust in employees and be accepting of open feedback.
Much more recognition and tangible benefits needs to be given to employees who do their job well.
