Rambus reviews

- very high turnover of management - no longer term vision or strategy. When CEO was asked what's strategy he said "execution". Current CEO (2019) is operations guy with commodity semiconductor experience. Senior management is not technical at all. - High and constant turnover. none of the exec management have been with company more than few years. Most of revenue is from old patents else company would have folded a while back. new businesses are mostly non-profitable. Company does not have product development culture. slow motion train wreck. Not ethical.

Hard work is never appreciated and the credit is taken by the manager. There is no growth for the individual contributor. Managers spend more time in politics rather productivity. HR, managers, and MD are close. Escalation against a manager is not recommended here. If your manager does not like you, then you have to fight for your survival. IDC has few redundant, incompetent boot leaking managers. Appraisal hike and the bonus are always predecided by the manager. The timelines are unrealistic and mostly decided by the manager. So, you have to prepare yourself to work long hours. All competent people have left the company. Company's growth is stagnant. Management is happy with quantity rather than quality. No clear road map.
