Current Employee – been working at International Rectifier full-time for more than 8 years

Pros – Hey, still here so that's a plus in this economy. Good company to start out with and get your feet wet before you move on.

Cons – No raises in the past 4 years, no more bonuses, always with the "layoff" thing and some management, (not all) are biased towards certain employees (but what company does not have this). If you get hired you will be making some decent money, but if you rise from the "ranks" forget about it... Why compensate you more when you worked for cheap to begin with... Some management needs to get a clue, especially when they don't know how to do their jobs and you still have to go along with it even if you have already shown it will fail.

Advice to Senior Management – If you see talent recognize it and help those people grow... Don't be politicians and promote friends and what not. I have seen a lot of people leave because of these problems. Furthermore with the hiring and pay freeze I'm sure there will be more of the exodus that we've been seeing lately.
