product manager

Advantech

Pros:
* Opportunities to work with well known multinational companies
* Wide variety of products and solutions for almost any industry
* Gained some soft skills such as communications and problem solving

Cons:
* Every second is like walking on thin ice. Managers are always playing the blame game and are quick to assume. You will be penalized in some way despite any wrongdoing and justification. Excessive micromanagement
* Managers are yes men. They do not form opinions of their own and will submit to anything they are told to do, being more of a messenger rather than a manager. Favoritism is common here
* Frequent yelling and lecturing throughout the office from all levels of authority, creating a culture of fear
* Unprofessional behavior from both managers and individual contributors. Frequent belittling, gossiping, rumor spreading, and bad mouthing about others’ personal lives, working style, and performance. A trust no one environment
* No investment in resources and software that can boost productivity and efficiency across all channels. We rely heavily only on outlook making workflows inconsistent and disorganized
* Forced use of PTO and unpaid leave when systems were down due to a cyberattack
* No safe space to express concerns regarding issues in the office such as reporting wrongdoings, conflicts with other employees, etc. No programs offered from HR (which was basically nonexistent and unresponsive at the time of employment) or any 3rd party organizations
* Not much opportunity to grow within the company
* Lack of diversity
* High turnover. Job listings seem to be taken down and reloaded frequently to seem new, but have actually been open for over a year due to employees constantly quitting

If you're interviewing for a position you'll want to get the salary range upfront! Unfortunately, it was a waste of time and frustrating to go through 5 interviews and not be offered the position all the while they danced around the pay range. After the 3rd interview I should have withdrew from their long drawn out interviewing process which consisted of a test and two power point presentations.  Their interviewing process was a reflection of what their management style would be like so know upfront what to expect when you're invited to an interview.

Joined Advantech fresh out of school and it was my first job.

It was funny how I got the job as I was not looking for a sales position with an engineering degree but I always like selling since I was in elementary school.  From bicycles to watches to party tickets.

So when Advantech offered me a Sales Engineer position. I took it.  Goodness, I learned so much from Advantech and that set the foundation for me.  A lot of HP management style in Advantech.  

Good place to work and learn!

What is the best part of working at the company?
Training was top notch.  Expectations of performance was unreasonable.  

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Pressure from Management to work 60 hour weeks for below average pay.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
There is none.  You are siloed into your own over reach Profit and Loss situation with no room to negotiate.

Asian Company favors their own and if you have a part time position  you are never allowed to go on any of the fun events or trips. I do not think they think  you are part of the company although they clam a warm family environment don't believe it. Free breakfast in offices is not a big deal anymore. Old school company culture. Management does not respond well to workers concerns

Head of division was MIA to the staff at times.  Several Legacy employees were set in their ways and unwilling to change and collaborate.   Lots of silos for a small organization and favoritism.   Lots of lip service to changes on how they work.  Most new people leave.  This is a dying ship.  Put it this way, the management that stayed were the ones that should have left.

Most of the employee are friendly but almost everyone is overloaded.
Company culture is sales-oriented, so sometimes it's not really fair to the rest of supporting teams. Upper management doesnt really care about employee, they 're more focusing on revenue and quota instead.

One of the worst places to work, trust me, I’ve worked at many bad companies, but this place was the worst of them all. The so called “manager” don’t care about you all they care about is their daily quotas. No help from your fellow colleagues. Its everyone for themselves. You mess up, oh wells, thats your bad.

Be aware of AdvantechUSA. The culture is not at all as advertised. The chaos that is my department is a mess and there is no training. It was not a good experience just so happy to be gone!

It was a sharing day. I developed a training for my team. I prepared some materials about InstallShield software. By the opportunity, I improved my ability to express. Meanwhile, I shared my knowledge with my team.
