One for the record books - Anonymous employee Sierra Wireless Employee Review

In my opinion, this company should be used as an example for law makers to draw up an employee bill of rights or somehow for unions to regain their former popularity. At one point, on average, 1 person was fired every 2 weeks. The CEO/COO perpetuated a corporate culture of fear. This type of environment, which starts at the stop, results in a ripple effect throughout the rest of the company. The people that survived are incredibly judgmental, would constantly talk and skype about each other and on numerous occasions racist remarks could be heard from management and employees alike. Salaries were below average, pay raises non-existent unless your position/title changed, you were required to work federal holidays without being paid time and a half and required to be on standby and take calls in the middle of the night and weekends without any compensation. This was justified as being part of the job and in line with being an exempt employee. This is one horrific company to work for but this is just one person’s opinion based on recent and actual experience.
