Pros

Flexible work hours, bonus pay good for upper management and sufficient for regular employees, stock purchase plan, quarterly updates directly from CEO

Cons

Pay and 401K lower than most companies in the same industry, company operates very lean which requires long work hours, products on older manufacturing processes usually 1 or 2 generations behind the competition. Operating systems to run the business are low budget.

Pros

There are a handful of people here who are fantastic to work with, are very knowledgeable, and care about the product that's going out the door.

Cons

Leadership is fundamentally out of touch and appears indifferent to employee well-being. The culture is marred by nepotism and a lack of accountability, where 'guiding values' are preached but never practiced. Feedback is discouraged, and those who speak up are often targeted. Expect a 'reward' of more work for the same pay, as promotions are rare and promised bonuses are frequently withheld despite strong site performance. A very frustrating and toxic environment for those who value merit and transparency.
