Worst company to work for - Anonymous employee Astex Employee Review

The people who stay at Astex are ones living in the East Bay or are waiting for the retirement. There is no respect for the individual contributors who actually do the work. The Human Resource is the most useless I have ever encountered in any company I have worked in. They are just lazy and sycophants of the executives. They do not even care to talk to individual contributors. Most of the managers / directors are like weasels either looking for their own benefit or waiting for the retirement. So my advice to people thinking about applying is to just "run" and do not waste your time.
