Cradlepoint Reviews

Since Ericsson acquired Cradlepoint and especially since George stepped down as CEO the culture, perks, and morale have tanked. The new leader is cold and ruthless. I wanted to get behind a woman leader, but she's out of touch to the company. Despite people's hard work, the company isn't paying bonuses because the joke of a CSO and other leaders set unrealistic business targets. Even though the company made profits over the last year. So you'll work your butt off for the company to meet unrealistic targets, and you won't be rewarded for it. Salaries are below market and as a current employee it's hard to find motivation to work hard knowing that your hard work won't be rewarded anyway.

This was beyond a horrific experience. The culture is bred and was founded in 2006 based toxicity. The CEO and staff have gone out of their way to do nothing about it. The C-Suite is weak, complicit and corrupt. The C-suite only hire their top level friends and cronies. In particular look at the CPO and the chain down engineering. It's incestuous. The engineering staff simply lack talent. There is no invention there, They have poor pay and some of the worst benefits in Idaho - and that's not saying much. It's Idaho! The engineering is terrible. There is no invention. You think it's a technology company embracing 5G - and it's not. The hardware is off the shelf commodity hardware. Most of the engineers simply push config files to the cloud. You probably can lay off roughly 50% of them -and no one would notice.. The cloud SaaS front end will most likely move to India - by design. They take advantage of people simply because they are based in Boise. The workplace is hostile, opinionated, and coercive. Projects and company direction is shoot from the hip without an overall strategy. They circle around company strategies over and over again without direction or vision. Finally it’s a fantastic place to get an experience of how a poorly managed and desperate company operates as you move on in your career. You will use your experience here as testament of how to never run a company. I can't believe Ericsson paid what they did. But again, they are great at marketing. You would think this is disgruntled former employee talking here.. It's not, It's someone who has seen the best and worst of organizations over 40 years. Cradlepoint is by far the worst.
