Pros

- very smart and driven group of top-notch engineers and managers - silicon photonics and LiDAR technology is leading edge, a cool semiconductor tech company many have not heard of - office is high end with an advanced lab in the Boston seaport area - compensation is in line with the industry, hard work and achievement is rewarded with out of cycle promotions and increased comp - a growing and profitable business, which is unique for a small tech company

Cons

- on-site work is expected (some employees like that, some don't) - the engineering team is lean but growing, so the work can be demanding due to contract milestones so you need to be ready to step up and perform - a small company and you may need to wear many hats to get the job done, may not be a good fit for some

Pros

Analog Photonics is an incredibly innovative company with a really bright staff from great schools such as MIT, Harvard, etc. with great technology in both the LiDAR and Datacomm space. It is located in a really cool location in the Seaport area of Boston and its management provides rapid career growth opportunities.

Cons

Not sure if this is a Con or not but the work is challenging and your colleagues are bright so it is a competitive but also collegial environment.

Pros

Good for junior recent graduate students to get their resume industrialized.

Cons

1. Take a careful look at all reviews here in Glassdoor and consider them seriously before joining a company that has an employee quit his/her job every month. 2. No ethical codes exist in this company! Managers are only expecting all employees to work extra hours and no benefits for all these extra hours. 3. Very low salary and benefits compared to the same tier of companies (for the amount of expected work load). 4. VPs of Photonics and System teams are both following the orders of the CEO in order to gain more benefits for themselves out of engineers' hard work. 5. CEO of the company always put his feet on the desk, showing his insecurity and lack of confidence!!! It shows the lack of understanding the basics of civilized lifestyle. 6. Do not join this company unless you want and unbalanced work-life, headache, stomach pain, always being under the stress of deadlines (which never ends).
