Great technology, but the broken middle management needs to be fixed
A semi-company with cutting-edge wireless technology.
Many employees are best in class.
Management makes extremely aggressive schedules and refuses to learn from past errors.
Several abusive middle managers cause the company culture to suffer.
There's a sink-or-swim attitude toward new hires.
It's hard to get a promotion.
Poor work/life balance: pedal to the metal all the time.
Clean up your management practices: there is no excuse for making the same mistakes over and over.
