New management with unprofessional and top-down management style - Anonymous employee Pulse Electronics Employee Review

Yageo did not understand how to manage a company like Pulse. After acquisition, the new management tried to manage Pulse business with its own business model without acknowledging the fundamental difference in the nature of two businesses. The new CEO of Pulse, who was transitioned' from the CEO of Yageo, has refused to take accountability for the decisions she's made, such as laying off a lot of Pulse employees after less than 6 months of effort to fit Pulse into Yageo structure. The company then tried to hire them back. In the meantime, the new management failed to retain existing customers with the layoff since the employees were pushed out of the door with no transition time nor severance package if not listed in the original contracts.
