"D-Link Systems, Inc. - A Great Place to Work"

What do you like about working at D-Link systems?

"D-Link was for the most part a very FUN place to work. They did their very best to make the work environment as comfortable and fun as possible. The break room (or lunch room) had games where people on breaks or lunch hours would play and also a basketball court outside the lunch room for those who wanted to hang outside during the lunches or breaks. D-Link is close to shopping and dining (even a Starbucks Coffee shop!). A very good friend of mine even lived close to D-Link, so we had lunch together often while I was working there. I was extremely happy with their compensation package and pay."

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

"All I can say about interviewing with this company is to go about it the way you would interviewing with any other company. It is very hard to find jobs in today's economy. If you stay positive as I did in my interview with them before I was hired, you will most likely be hired. You won't regret it. D-Link is in my opinion the best company to work for!"

What don't you like about working at D-Link systems?

There would be a sort of an echo in the room. The cubicles should have been taller or with a material that would drown out or absorb the sound from others who were talking."
