D-Link Reviews

Pros

Great company, I feeling like a part of family. Good benefits, Fair pay.

Cons

Nothing that I'm aware of

Pros

Not a ton of pressure. Casual dress environment. Some smart people. Despite the long list of cons the lack of resources and training helped me learn more in a short period of time than I ever have in my professional career. Being thrown into the deep end with minimal swimming knowledge isn't 100% terrible.

Cons

Where do I begin? D-Link is a perfect example of how not to run a company; especially in the technology industry. Completely incompetent leadership almost entirely across the board that does not listen to those employees who bring up actual hard evidence of issues that are actively harming the company. Be prepared to get disparaged behind your back by management as well. There was constant bashing of employees and...

Advice to Management

I really don't know what else to say to management. While HQ gave them poor hands to begin with, they did absolutely nothing to try and make something of them. The only thing that will save this company, in my opinion, is clearing out the majority of the leadership team that have created a boring and oftentimes toxic work environment

Pros

Great culture full of people who go the extra mile to not only outperform at work but create a fun workplace. Great management that work with all functions to develop goals and give insight from HQ in Taiwan. Willing to try new things and invest when necessary. Passionate about their products and their employees' success

Cons

Building is outdated. Processes are governed by HQ in Taiwan.

Advice to Management

Continue to create a fun work environment by making more hires based on more than skills - focus on their cultural impact and how they can contribute to the "new D-Link"

Pros

Lots of freebees. Good relationships with co-workers.

Cons

At D-Link you are dealing with a Chinese company. What that means is everything from the most mundane decisions on up is made at the company HQ in Taiwan. All problems and issues are sent up the line and you just have to wait for someone at the top to make a decision. The company is micro-managed from Taiwan on virtually every issue. You find yourself working late into the evening so you are able to converse with...

Advice to Management

Allow the US operation to run itself. You are too controlling and do not understand the American market. Allow for independent actions.

Pros

Can be boring. Not sure good or bad thing.

Cons

Meetings all day. Talk the talk but don't walk the walk. Most meetings are not productive.

Pros

Friendly employees, good working schedules

Cons

No motivation, employees are isolated from the management.

Pros

Partner logistic compliance, good benefits, timely expense reimbursement.

Cons

Poor product development and launch processes, poor end-user support, does not test/vet products prior to launch.

Advice to Management

Ensure products are ready from a HW/firmware perspective, focus on user feedback for mobile apps and HW improvements

Pros

Not much here, clock in and clock out when you are full time. No bonuses. Cheap upper management.

Cons

No more product management team. All outsourced to Taiwan.
