Cradlepoint Reviews

Lots of cons unfortunately. Management does not listen. They are looking for answers elsewhere, ignoring everything in front of them. The quality of the product has took a huge hit in the last year or so. R&D leadership is in lala land and investing energy into offshoring and the Los Gatos location. Great talent has left the company and there was no attempt to retain them. The culture is a mess. About 3 years ago, Cradlepoint was voted best place to work and they felt like they should do anything to maintain the culture. Teams are siloed and the climate is toxic because the lack of communication makes it where co-workers are rarely on the same page. The company used to have great potential and an attractive culture. It went down the drain a couple of years ago. They scrambled at first trying to fix things by re-organizing R&D, but lately they just gave up. They are oblivious to how damaged the reputation of the organization has declined. The CEO used to care, but he is seeing the damage and doing nothing. People who come here and put a 5 star review are part of the problem. There is no great company that has people quitting regularly.

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.
