Working at Christie Digital Systems in Cypress, CA: 13 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Cypress, CA Area

"The company has poor management and manages from the top down. The only reason they stay in business is that they are leaders in the industry, but the quality of their product has diminished over the years. While they say they are for employees it really only counts for those in the home office, not the other offices that they are also responsible for. If you don't mind working for a top-down company will poor management and lackluster incentives to stay employed then apply here, if they decide to lift their years-long hiring freezes."

"I worked at Christie for two decades helping to transform its technology and service businesses. During my tenure, the company scaled revenues from $15m to $850m at its peak. It was an amazing experience with a great culture."

"Game of Departments. If you are looking for a place that recognizes and rewards talented, hardworking people, you will be sorely disappointed. On the other hand, if you thrive off of drama, back stabbing, manipulation, smoke and mirrors, and brown nosing, this will be your castle. If you excel at the ability to stroke egos you have a very good chance of slashing your way up the ranks. If finding an environment where maturity and interdependency are understood and valued by management, and synergy is created as a result, then Christie will not be your kingdom. However, if you feel at home wading thru a moat of codependent leaders who are driven by their ego and insecurity, then Christie will be your playground. I worked for just over eleven years and one of the many things that I learned was, “hard work” is rewarded with “more work” without more pay. Most of the people that get promoted are the people who know how to feed into the ego of management even if they aren’t good at their job. Most of executive management are narcissists, this is why they never see themselves as the problem, they will always blame it on someone or something else and never reflect on their own shortcomings or listen to constructive criticism, it is impossible for a narcissist to do this. They surround themselves in their inner circle with people who stroke their ego rather than healthy people who will be honest and tell management the truth knowing that it will be a hard thing for management to receive. My senior director was/is a very talented, bright, intelligent individual just as her predecessor was, however her downfall is that she’s insecure and ego driven. It clouds her judgement causing her to make poor decisions, this stops her from becoming great. She micromanaged my boss and did not allow him to freely manage the RMA team thus putting extra stress on him and the team. Many people left in my last few years because of her."
