ASUSTeK – “Asus - Better gone, then right.”
Pros
Working with new ( if not state of the art ) technology. This company is an innovative in their product. It has a world known reputation and branding awareness.
Cons
Little advance planning, poor quality control, it doesn't have to be good, it just has to be out. Has a repair facility that can hardly repair. Quality control issues run rampant. QC procedures are generally only enforced during ISO certifications. AN underpaid and under appreciated work force. Parts shortages back up outbound repairs. Very little internal communication, the left hand rarely knows what the right is doing. Part of this is language barriers, Taiwanese to English to Spanish, part of it is corporate culture, if I tell you something you may get ahead of me in someway.... Teamwork and unification leaves something to be desired.
Advice to Senior Management
Develop high quality and pride in your work output, and then strive for quantity. It doesn't matter how much product you put out if 2/3 of it comes back.
