Avoid At All Costs - Anonymous employee D-Link Employee Review

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 other leaders yet almost none of them directly faced these people or issues to try and genuinely work to improve conditions. Deflection of blame and unwillingness to face real problems and attack them head on is the norm here. So much for a company being run by "adults". This management environment was much more like a gossipy high school clique. HQ is in Taiwan and really the US office is just a glorified sales outlet. While a lot of issues (namely product) originate from HQ with a leadership that has no idea what it's doing in the American market, the US-based leadership does absolutely nothing to help. Between these two, budget cuts are the norm, layoffs happen at least once a year, and even the smallest requests for budget and resources to do what should be considered normal parts of a role are denied. This company botched several product launches during my tenure. Retail partners do not want to carry anything from this company in store and as such most things are online only, with the vast majority of said products carrying poor reviews. For good reason. DUS knows what they're selling is often times complete crap. Unfortunately, working for this company felt like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. I will be very surprised if this office is still open within 2 years barring a serious shakeup and turnaround in the leadership of this company. Oh by the way, almost no one in the company (possibly outside of management) has received a raise IN YEARS, regardless of job performance.
