        Pros

        Most of these may no longer be true, but you could get free hardware pretty easily at one time, and there's profit share of 10% when they decide to do it. Maybe if you really need a place to start, but leave before 3 years is up. I really really wish I could say more nice things about this place.

        Cons

        CEO and COO detached from reality, being served by middle managers who kiss up and kick down, double standards all over the place in how they treat employees. The biggest issue though, they have really lost their heart and have no empathy for their employees. There was good people there, mostly, not so much anymore. It's a much colder atmosphere now. They are notoriously cheap. There's also very few people of color working there, and they union bust.

          Great product discounts. Great colleagues.

          Cons

          Layoffs are stealthy. They'll come for you when you least expect it.

            Cons

            Ive been promoted multiple times in the past 5 years and never received more than a 3% raise. Absolutely ridiculous. Barely can afford the region

              Pros

              The premium end of their product lines were solid.

              Cons

              No defined roles. Taiwan team didn't receive enough credit for their talent. You can tell senior leadership stays for the cash grab. The company is ran like no one is in charge, and the company vibe always felt like everyone feared they were about to get sacked.

                    Cool coworkers. They’re the only thing that kept me there.

                    Cons

                    Management is corrupt and favoritism runs rampant. No pay increases no matter how many peoples jobs you are forced to do (unless you are your supervisors favorite). Instead of hiring help they make you absorb jobs when people quit. HR is a joke. They would rather lose 100 hard working employees than get rid of 1 toxic supervisor. They recently laid off about 15 people in front of everyone, mostly older employees that had been there 10+ years. HR walked through the warehouse and picked people from their stations and walked them out like criminals. Stay far away.

                        Management constantly lies to employees. Raises may be years apart, and are significantly less than inflation.

                      I had an panel interview(which seems the last interview?) on Nov.21st, sent thank you email, and received response(look forward to our next step) on same day. but have not heard back from them afterwards. I understand that we had Thanksgiving weekend but should I send follow up email? or should I just wait?

                      I am having an interview on Monday. Any tips or suggestions? I am finally getting back in work force after 1and a half year of break. I feel like I have lost the touch with current Digital Marketing landscape.
