Not a good work place for growth

Pros

In the year 2015, the fellow employees were exceptional to work with, especially the 3D software technicians. There were also some employees from lab that were awesome as well. They all had each other's back and worked really hard. Free snacks in the breakroom and free breakfast on certain days.

Cons

Literally everything else aside from what was mentioned in the Pros. Benefits at the time were "okay" at best. Parking was at a shady looking lot and when that lot closed down, there was no plan from upper management on how to resolve that issue. The pay was literally one of the worst I have seen for a small company. One would think that because it was a small company, they would offer a decent package for employee retention. But no, the hourly wage did not even reach the minimum to make it out here in the bay area. In addition to that, the bonus at the end of the year was not even something to look forward to. That was the breaking point. Turnover rate was one of the worst to be seen. Most just come here because they are desperate for a job and leave after finding out what a mistake they made. In regards to growth, there is no clear path as to where anyone could go. Moving up to a "team lead" did not seem to a pleasant move since they were also in the same low paying boat as everyone else. The mid-annual and annual reviews were some of the most ridiculous sights to behold. Employees were rated out of 5 and it was considered average and normal to be at a 2.9. Seriously, since when was it okay to be a 2.9? According to management, one could only be given a 3 or above if they did something above and beyond (which makes sense in theory) but that rating could only be approved by Jack, the CEO. Therefore, if one worked their life off and everyone thought that person deserved a 3-5, it could only happen if Jack approved of it. Otherwise, that person would be out of luck. Oh, and also a good thing to mention, the bonuses were also related to the ratings, therefore, there were a lot of people who were stiffed on the bonuses.

Pros

Paychecks are never late. Decent health benefits. Company is doing well financially so won't go bankrupt anytime soon.

Cons

The CEO and upper management are very unpleasant to deal with. If you're lucky then they will never talk to you, if you're unlucky like me then you will have regular meetings with them where they give conflicting and confusing instructions combined with unreasonable expectations. The pay is well below average. The company loves to hire young grads so they can lowball them. Turnover rate is absurd, there's a new face every few weeks. Based on my rough estimate, I think about 60-75% of employees here are dissatisfied and actively looking for better opportunities.

Pros

There are decent benefits and PTO. Commuting tax break, if you get your clipper card through the company. There is parking in the building for $100/mo. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. Breakfast is provided Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays. I received a Christmas bonus, which I am still grateful for! The Guadalupe River Park is right behind the building for a nice, scenic walk if you need a break.

Cons

Unless you live with a roommate, the pay won't get you by. The morale is really low for numerous reasons. There is no transparency in this company what so ever and it permeates through the entire production. You could work on something and you might not hear how it ended up until there are public media pictures of it. You have no idea what else is really going on in the company, meaning all the fruits of your labor, you never really get to celebrate. You just move from one release onto the next. There is a locked down firewall and you need a password to install/uninstall. There are security cameras furthering the idea that you are not trusted (or valued), you are simply just an employee, rather than a team member of any value. The software is very clunky and thrown together. The software needs to be given a revamp by software devs. Far too much time is spent finding alternative ways to complete tasks that can be better implemented in the first place. There was insufficient notice (2 days) when switching the company benefits to a new package. This same employee also emailed highly sensitive information to the entire company. She also did not properly file away employee's paperwork and had to avoid an audit.
