Wind River Reviews

Upper management is out of touch and operates in silos or fiefdoms. Intel has made this place less effective and more cookie cutter and corporate. There is a huge rift between younger and older employees. Lots of entitlement from longer term employees - it's hard to get results from them, and they are always taking time off during critical periods of product and application development. The mid level managers here are way out of kilter with reality and how to treat people. It's turned into a dismal work environment over the past few years. CEO Mainz was just let go - they are now putting marketing managers in charge of our company, and risk alienating engineers even further, but I don't think they care because they have moved most, if not all engineering functions to the Chinese Development Centre.

The newer organization structure of Business Units is a complete nightmare. The General Managers have never run businesses before. Communication is non existent, decisions are made by a few people then never cascaded out. The President has hand picked 'yes-men/women' and no one questions him. Alameda HQ is a ghost town, all the good people have left and newer folks been let go. No new ideas. Everyone is a walking zombie (or doesn't even come into office) with impending Intel integration. Complete mismatch in cultures.
