Cons

Smaller size company for my taste. But still a great place to work! Very structured and very nice. Interior needs to be updated.

Pros

Great people in all areas of the company and regions of the world.
Great deal of latitude and you can impact many areas of the business.
Could be positioned for growth...

Cons

The organization is going in to many directions for its own good and we focus on the short-term.
Very little career development from your manager (they are too busy) and no career development or training from the HR group (they are HR only in name).

Advice to Senior Management

Pick a few markets and do them well...we can't be all things to all people. If we don't we will just be a "nice little company" who makes widgets.

Pros

Digi International does provide plenty of time off and is really flexible with their time off requests and sick days.

Cons

No real room for advancement, the company has gone years without providing any raises, constant pointless meetings that serve no purpose.

Advice to Senior Management

Place more of a focus on hiring from within and providing more opportunities for advancement.

Pros

Work environment and the quality of work are pretty good. Competent engineers are there from whom we can learn a lot. Learning curve is good.

Cons

Some times it happens that the management is a little ruthless during the project deadlines. And your contribution might get overlooked

Advice to Senior Management

I personally do not have any advice to give for the management. I am okay with the way it is.

Pros

Company is very supportive of teamwork, of collaboration, while still recognizing unique skills and passions and giving people a chance to excel individually.

Cons

Strong corporate culture. There is a Digi way of doing things. It is sometimes necessary to find a sponsor to clear an obvious roadblock

Advice to Senior Management

Make sure everyone in a decisionmaking capacity has a time listening to customers goal. Implement more formal systems for information sharing across divisions not just up and down

Pros

Cutting edge technology work, which helps you boost your resume. The company focuses on the
Mobile Technology Space and has a Good company culture

Cons

Not sure where the company is headed. Now that it has been bought by Digi, the future of the bangalore office is uncertain

Advice to Senior Management

Please ensure that you keep the employees working in India and Singapore in Mind when you make important corporate decisions

Pros

Great people to work with! Benefits are good. Pay is competitive for the current marketplace.

Cons

Not many jobs open up if you are not at HQ.

Advice to Senior Management

Keep up the good work!

Pros

Debt free financially well run second tier company. Works at finding niches it can dominate rather than taking on larger companies with greater resources.

Cons

Product line too broad for most salespeople to comprehend. As a result salespeople go where they can easily make their quota or in the latest hot technology they're focused on by their management.

Advice to Senior Management

More direct account interaction by Digi salespeople outside of North America to uncover strategic opportunities that distribution channels aren't likely to find.

Pros

Digi is a technically challenging casual work environment. You regularly get to work with new technologies and develop new products. All this without a micro manager looming over your shoulder. It is really the best of both worlds. Education and training is promoted from corporate. The benefits here are better than normal.

Cons

Like all fast paced engineering groups, project planning could be better. More often than not, the project starts with no specifications and documentation is put off until the very last minute. As always, this bites you in the butt. More time upfront would alleviate many of the problems during development.

Advice to Senior Management

Plan your projects better. Get specs up front and avoid feature creep. Documentation actually HELPs and is not entirely evil.
