Pros

Not all design decisions are made by managers, so there is a good deal of architectural freedom when it comes to daily work as a software engineer at Fullpower. Everyone I worked with personally was awesome, and there weren't much office politics as far as I could tell. Only occasionally was I asked to work more than 40 hours a week. Great work/life balance! All employees get at least 3 weeks vacation. Great location!

Cons

Even though you won't be overworked, they aren't willing to make any arrangements for part-time work, which makes it hard if you don't believe in the traditional "40 hour workweek." The culture seems a bit dated. The random spurts of team events are few and far between. If "dogs in the office" is enough culture for you, this won't be a problem. From what I saw, the CEO only works directly with around 4 employees, even though there are almost 100 employees in the company. I only saw him in the office a few times a month at most. There were times when I wasn't sure who to speak with about employment matters. There isn't an HR department. The company almost never provides lunch. Coffee is provided, and there is an "employee contribution box" for milk by the espresso machine. Yes, there is a milk contribution box at a software company with almost 100 employees. Many of the other tech companies in Santa Cruz are generous when it comes to providing the greatest food for their employees. Low pay.

1. Fullpower is focused on and recognized as being a global leader for AI-powered solutions. It’s a fantastic opportunity for passionate scientists and engineers. 2. The Fullpower CEO is a legendary visionary that guides the company with discipline and an empowered management team. Philippe is a visionary leader, not a micro-manager. Philippe empowers the team at Fullpower and is focused on Fullpower’s long-term success. 3. Fiscally Fullpower is a real, successful business focused on returning value to team members in a financially disciplined way as opposed to continual endless stock option dilution through endless venture capital rounds. It is exceptional to be in that strong business position. 4. The Fullpower workplace is team oriented and personal growth oriented. Each team member has a personal space (as opposed to distracting open workspace environment). Each team member is empowered, not micro managed. 5. Innovation and global technology leadership is what drives Fullpower.

Pros

I've been at my share of large, established companies as well as start-ups, and Fullpower offers many of the best aspects of both: innovative technology that has the potential to change the industry, employees that are truly excited about what they do, and possibly most important, the stability of solid funding and proven leadership. The CEO in particular has an amazing track record of founding successful companies, and I quickly came to respect his intuition about products and market trends. And while everyone certainly works hard, it's a relatively relaxed work environment. Many people bring their dogs to the office, and employees take breaks for crossword puzzles or to take walks along the nearby San Lorenzo river or Downtown. Every Wednesday afternoon many people go to the Farmers' Market a block away for lunch and fresh produce. As far as location, it really doesn't get any better. A fun perk is the sailing races: employees can bring family and friends on a beautiful sailboat for pizza and fun on the Monterey Bay every Wednesday night during the summer. I went several times last year and couldn't believe this was just part of what Fullpower offers!

Cons

I do miss some of the more structured opportunities for continued learning that I had at larger companies, but management is generally very supportive of attending conferences and such to keep current in your field.
