Enjoyable part of the job, finish the closing books and have – more... a nice luch. – less

OSRAM Sylvania is a great company to work for. I have gained an extensive experience in PCB Design and Manufactuing for Assembly. My co-workers are all very professional and highly educated talented individuals. The most difficult part of this job was with the industry, since there was a need to react to the ever changing lighting technology. However, – more... with change there is also new ideas and new direction - leading to greater opportunities and growth. – less

Hard working admins and technicians. Poor business ethics and management practices. Got rid of key players and company takes a dump. If you perform better than your boss, they will do anything to get rid of you.

Very messed up organization, they recently offered a VSP with NO forethought at all so lots of good people left the company. Some needed to go as they were dead weight but this could have been handled during the VSP timeframe with a little planning. They can't decide if they want Silos to control decisions or Matrix. Nobody can provide clear direction – more... or decision. Great co-workers (although most have left or are looking to leave) but VERY screwed up management. Lots of deadbeats still employed when they should have used the VSP timeframe to get rid of those (since they won't be leaving anytime soon because they are unemployable). I'd only suggest taking a job here if you are desperate. – less

lighting company good people to work with. The supervisors are there to help things move smoothly.

This facility closed to move operations to another country for cheeper labor. Gave all employees pink slips.

Worked with sales reps to setup their customer meetings in Danvers, MA
Hardest part was last minute changes that happened frequently to agenda
Enjoyed working with many different personalities

The company is very unorganized, poorly managed, and uses unethical business practices. Employees are bullied, harrassed, and threatened on a daily basis. The absence of a union has contributed to the demise of this universal company. Every level of this company is corrupt.

this is your typical factory with lower than normal contact between employees and managers. unless something is done wrong they have no reolection on who you are

struggling with the disruptive technology of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). Eroding base of traditional light sources (fluorescent, incandescent, HID).
in preparations for a spin-off from Siemens, thus undergoing belt-tightening, balance-sheet spiffing, and hard looks at all things semi-profitable.
Currently laying off 4700 workers in North America.

This company was great to work for. They offered good salary, along with a great team of management

over worked
unrealistic expectations
pay is low for scale
management do not listen

Good place with knowledgeable people and good products well maintained staff. Never had any stressful conditions.

Osram Sylvania was by far one of the most enjoyable jobs I have ever had. They give you incredible training and prepare you for several different rolls in the company, so your opportunity for advancement and growth is always there. I have never seen a company that appreciates it's employees as much as Osram Sylvania. The management is very family oriented – more... and since I was a single mom working they were very flexible in working with me.
I cannot begin to list the amount of skills I learned and the importance in team work. I enjoyed going to work and very much enjoyed talking and helping our customers.
Unfortunately I am a single mom and with 2 small children I was not able to continue with the hours and drive. But I am grateful to have had to opportunity to work there, and to learn there. – less

I like the people I work with I enjoy meeting new people but environment is not all that great

A very fast paced environment.

All employees are dedicated to the company and always give 110%!

Fast pace enviroment that offer continues challenges that make the job very much interesting
