Pros

the people are nice and the work isn't super difficult

Cons

you are not valued as much as you should be by upper management and that will reflect in your salary, ability to be promoted, and the respect you "earn"

Good mission, poor leadership

Senior engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The mission of the company is definitely good. Security, monitoring, and access solutions for homes and businesses gives peace of mind during uncertain times.

Cons

Leadership is petty and power hungry. They create fiefdoms and jealously guard them. Anyone who threatens that power gets attacked, undermined, and tossed aside.
