Advice to Senior Management

Grow some balls and take some risks for the sake of D-Link's future

Pros

They have a basketball court and these mexican taco trucks that come for lunch. They left me alone for the most part and I didn't have anything to do. So I don't know about the work there.

They pretty much put me in front of a computer and ignored me. Pay was a bit low as well.

Medium size company. Provide full depth of networking products

Cons

it needs better career plan for employees

Advice to Senior Management

prevent high turnover ratio and support individual's career growth

Pros

Company went through some restructuring and is emerging from its dark times. Executive management has started HR initiatives to boost employee morale. Company goals have become clear from top down. I've personally gotten along with all international employees, executive management, upper management, co-workers, and interns. There is plenty of work to get you through the day. There are/is a basketball court, showers, and a ping pong table. The US building is going through restructuring to further improve working conditions. Marketing department was a collaborative environment and truly a pleasure to work in. Convenient location. Changes also allowed access to new technology - I was given a new laptop and software. The D-Link Boxee Box has become a media center in my home.

Cons

No improvement without growing pains. There is constant bickering/politics at the top with no moderation/solution by executives. Workload seems to be dumped unevenly into specific departments. Roles have not clearly been defined yet. Company is very top heavy with few middle class workers. Pay is on the low side (after negotiations). Employees were kept after hours to meet with Taiwan executives. There were a LOT of meaningless hour long meetings.

Advice to Senior Management

Identify the workhorses vs. the complainers. Reward the workhorses and deal with the complainers. Plan for the future better and more quickly. Stop meeting so much and hire a project manager. I've come out of 9/10 meetings feeling like nothing has been accomplished. There was a lot of talk and not enough doing. Executives need to give deadlines and hold the owner accountable.

Pros

monthly ice cream and cake for birthdays

Cons

Condescending management who have cronies. Turnover high and they promote incompetent people to important positions.

Advice to Senior Management

Recognize talented people and let them shine. Don't hire competent peoples and then be prejudiced against them so they eventually leave.

Respect amount colleagues. Casual relaxed environment that is important to me

Cons

Difficult to grow. Flat hieraracle structure that.
