I worked at D-Link full-time for more than 6 years
Pros
Flexible working time. Nice working environment. No political games. Great support from the top management team. Nice people in the company.
Cons
The company is lack of international business experience. Most of the staff don’t know how to deal with international customers.
Advice to Management
The management needs to hire more experienced RD, PM, and manufacturing leader for international business. They also need to travel more to visit customers abroad.

I worked at D-Link full-time
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...

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

I have been working at D-Link full-time for more than a year
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Building is outdated.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"

I worked at D-Link full-time for more than 2 years
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...

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

I worked at D-Link full-time for more than 9 years
Pros
Casual dress everyday Good work life balance Lots of open office space 3 weeks PTO after 1 year of employment
Cons
low pay, with minimal raises and no bonuses minimal room for advancement Management's response to declining revenue is to always layoff staff. Management needs to get rid of itself for any meaningful changes to occur in the future
Advice to Management
Allow US to operate independently of headquarters in Taiwan. As long as people in Taiwan think they can run a US company, the company will also lag behind its competition
