Oakley Employee Reviews for Senior Processor

What do you like about working at Oakley?

"I really enjoyed the product, the amount of resources dedicated to process development (equipment and machinery) and the ease of managing your own time and progress, as well as the informal environment. I think it is a great place to work."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"If you have issues with hI useless levels of politics and or if you are serious about applying management and process control theories and technical criterias, I would reconsider applying for Oakley.If you want to have a good time and don't care to much about what I said above, go for it, it is a grate company and very stable."

What don't you like about working at Oakley?

"I think that the Senior management skills need improvements. The roles, position boundaries, respect for other people positions and accountability are at large a problem, is hard to understand what is expected from you and when, you have to guess who is leading an effort and learn after a crisis that your input or action was needed."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Although no system is perfect, I think that management need to get some serious training in Team Building (Team building is not go party), Prevention and crisis Management.By doing that I hope management can understand how important is to have a better definition (never perfect) of every body expectations so resources are utilized in a more efficient way.Another area that could be improved is the process development and product launch to production, most of the late production issues are due to a lack of process controls, which are totally predictable events within the process/product design stages.This area is very obscure and It seems that Oakley has created a whole department for the lack of accountability of another, without the proper empowerment and or authority from this new virtual department, that only create confusion and a reactive culture that is very hard to cope with."
