      ASUS: In Search Of Disposable Labor

      Pros

      The health care, vision, and retirement benefits are good. Then you realize they just barely cover California's basic guidelines for company provided health care (good luck trying to cover your spouses and dependents). Also, you'll be using your PTO to go to the doctor since the company has no sick days. As far as other positives, there are water machines, overpriced vending machines, and the new building on Kato Road is miles ahead of where they used to be in Fremont. If you're lucky, you can also bond with other unfortunate people who are stuck in the company for personal reasons and make your daily work week more bearable. That or you speak Mandarin.

      Cons

      If you read other reviews, the key takeaway is that the company has poor management and the culture is super Taiwan focused (salary position, mandatory overtime daily with no pay, expectations to put work ahead of personal life, favors Mandarin speakers). If you do decide to ignore those warnings, be prepared for more hurdles. From personal anecdotes, the probationary period was basically no personal training on how to understand basic job functions and to struggle with tasks so you learn how to "ask for help" and get used to kissing up to upper management. When you ask basic questions as to why things in the department are run this way, you get answers like "it's Asus" or "that's how I was taught." When you do get accustomed to the "it's Asus" life, you have few options: 1) brown nose to upper management to create a promotion, 2) do as your told and stick to a miserable life at Asus, or 3) leave the company for greener pastures. Regardless of what you chose, if you stay at Asus, you will realize in the long run that HQ controls everything, management only sees you as a metric to their reports to HQ, and your direct manager will let you know you are replaceable should you decide to speak up. I've tried to combat the silly, archaic system for a while only to be told that "California is an at-will employment state" and I had other options available to me (basically be fired). Meanwhile all the suck ups to upper management who used to work in Best Buy retail get promoted and establishing a very high school-esque social group and a toxic work environment, all the while you're trying to prove to HQ why a laptopmag review of Asus products are low compared to big players like Apple, Dell, and HP (hint: your product quality and support is terrible).

      Hello Former Employee, We pay at 100% for employee's cafeteria coverage that includes: medical, dental, vision, life/AD&D, EAP, and about 90% of HSA deductible. For dependents, we pay up to 60% of the premiums. Keep in mind our deductibles and copays are lower than most average company plans these days. Similar to car insurance, the higher the deductible the lower the cost and vice versa. We have sick time for our part-time employees and PTO for full-time employees. Please note if you have a division of vacation/sick time you can only use sick time for doctor visits and illnesses, sick time is not required to be paid out upon termination, and PTO has no restrictions for use and will be paid out in full upon termination. Companies with unlimited vacation/PTO are not required to pay out upon termination as there is no balance to keep track of (there goes your nice exit bonus). We are sorry for the way you feel about the company performance review structure but you are expected to be measured for your performance and rewarded by a bonus plan. Without some sort of measurement there would not be a fair way to distribute bonuses and merit increases. With our HQ in Asia, we do need to follow their policies and procedures (aside from local laws) where most companies in the US are headquartered locally and more easily to adapt culture and technology. Thank you for your feedback as this is valuable information for continuous improvement.

      Pros

      I'm very sorry, but there are no pros for this company. You get a below-average paycheck to take home.

      Cons

      The company consistently falls under the weight of its own bureaucracy. They lack moral standards when it comes to owning responsibility and do the absolute bare minimum to get by. This mindset is woven into every department throughout the company. Because of this, a lot of undesirable qualities and working conditions arise. The employee demographics are very skewed and lack diversity. Employees are constantly complaining around the office which makes for a very depressing atmosphere. The office location is not great. The facility is horrifying. All three flagpoles are left empty out front, while the neighboring companies fly the USA, California, and Company flags. This is not the cliche happy, forward-thinking, California technology company. I cannot confidently recommend this company to anyone. Please consider your options before applying or accepting a position at ASUS. If you do, ask for a tour of the building first.

      Interviewees Beware!

      Pros

      You get to learn a variety of different skills and handle every aspect of your programs, accounts and campaigns. This means that you're going to gain experience in almost every aspect of the business - from budgeting, events, account management, marketing strategies and product knowledge. Keep in mind that these aren't just things you're getting exposure to, but responsibilities you are expected to maintain.

      Cons

      Travel - per diem = $35/day - you are expected to use your own finances to cover the costs with no guarantee of reimbursement. Also, if you are traveling on the weekends, doing events or meeting with customers, you are not compensated for this extra time you're working. You're also expected to maintain your normal work responsibilities even if you put in 16-18 hour day. Management - Flat organization with the President personally involved in your projects accounts and campaigns. Super Micro-managed company culture. Benefits - Recently removed tuition reimbursement program, comp days for exceptional performance, and work from home privileges. Health insurance benefits are okay but there are no other perks to working here. No on-site food other than a vending machine; cafeteria contains about 10 microwaves for you to heat your own food and looking for coffee, tea or juice? forget it. You bring your own. The gym is pathetic with 1 treadmill, 1 bike, and 1 elliptical, ping-pong tables and random weights. Company culture - 90% Asian. Love you guys, but I'd like to know what you're talking about in meetings. It's also very challenging to communicate because emails are very difficult to decipher. Company work ethic requires you to work overtime - in fact you probably won't get all your work done if you're not putting in at least 2-3 hours of overtime per day, And if you leave on time, it is noticed by everyone. Hours are not flexible.
