Poor planning on the part of the schedulers within IR. One week we can be putting out a record number of parts, and the next week they shut down the plant. This happens at least once per quarter. There is no overtime and zero raises. I think there has been 1 raise in 5-7 years. Its would be a great place to work if these two issues would straighten – more... out. – less

No jobs, no merit increases, no bonuses and forget about profit sharing. Incompetent managers who are only in their positions because they have been with organisation for many years. Regular companies evaluate performance and WILL demote if need be. This company does not care about demotions and this is not a good thing. Benefits package USED to be – more... competent. CEO and upper management are THUGS who make who make reckless decisions. No jobs for US Citizens; this organization would rather recruit someone from India right out or college, pay for their relocation, pay for their sponsorship only because they can over-work those folks. – less

I arrive at work around 9:00 am. I have two employees who report to me. I read my e-mails and handle all phone message issues first.

Then I attend meetings, run reports, input payroll information (if needed).

We process payroll bi-weekly so depending on the day, I might need to update spreadsheets that will need to be reconciled at the end of the – more... month or at the end of the quarter.

I handle questions from persons who might walk into my office or call me during the day needing assistance.

Then around 7 or 8:00pm I go home. – less

Good working place. I have become very competent in the EPI PRO 5000 EPI reactor

duties job very attractive, where i can applied my knowledge about electronic, robotic,and how confidences when performed my duties.
A work place where very friendly and i can shared my knowledge with other team and learned from them many things.

If you like Power Electronics , this is the place for you. They make MOSFET , Motor controller IC which are widely used in the industry .

Overall very good experience at this company. High paced work place with a lot of motivated people. Worked hand in hand with engineers and project managers.

I joined IR as a rotation Engineer, possibly the best way to join a company. IRF has a brilliant work culture and the management gives you ample visibility and opportunity to learn and grow.

I worked for International Rectifier through Superior Staffing for around 9 months. When I had my initial interview, the hiring supervisor was very clear that he valued my skills, and was very quick to get me hired on. I was essentially promised that my Temp to Hire time would be 3 to 6 months tops. With the nature of the business, that did not happen. – more... Near the end of my employment with the company, there were multiple shutdowns, and one layoff. I had spoken to some of the senior employees about their tenure, and had heard horror stories of layoffs of temporary workers over the years. The senior technicians took pride in their positions, and did not feel scared for their jobs, but as for the temps, we were treated completely different than everyone else. Which, considering some of the temp workers had better work ethic, and ability than some of the full time employees, was quite sad. I dont know if I would consider going back to this company, if offered. I didnt feel valued by them. As a business, they have a lot to learn. They are a very small, amateur player, in the big picture. – less
