Better than most companies - Anonymous Skorpios Technologies Employee Review

Pros

Challenging work; very intelligent coworkers, majority of engineers are Ph.D. Level; you gain hands on experience; long hours but it often doesn't feel like "work"; and good pay and benefits. Why so many negative reviews? If you're not happy or feel unappreciated, then you should consider working elsewhere and avoid start up companies. The nature of a start up is intense, more so in this industry. If you came here for work and life balance, or only for money and stock, then you came for the wrong reasons. We should be here because we want to do challenging work, the money and balance will show up in due time.

Cons

Not everyone is committed to the hard and intense work required; a lot of secrecy around projects; overly aggressive deadlines and goals.

Pros

Paychecks are consistently on time. The pace of the work encourages rapid learning and exposes employees to a wide range of technical challenges. Great but continuously shrinking team of veteran floor employees.

Cons

Hostile work environment. Chaotic and disorganized. Out of touch and toxic upper management. Extreme micromanaging and paranoia around time theft. Blame culture from upper management. Prioritizes hiring more managers to exert control over floor personnel rather than investing in additional floor personnel or additional resources for floor personnel. No training / procedures out of date for much of the equipment. Sink or swim environment for new hires. Expects output within 1-2 weeks of start date. Safety concerns / no LOTO standards. “Yes men” culture — honest or realistic input is punished. Four months straight of six-day mandatory work weeks 60+ hour weeks with no additional compensation for salaried employees. No recognition for effort. No carrot, only stick / punishment for failure to abide by six-day policy. Moving goalposts on success criteria for returning to original schedule. No accountability for this. Extreme attrition from the process engineering team, on track for 100% team attrition within half a year. HR, more so than other companies, serves as a strong arm for management. Cannot hire or retain experienced process engineers due to the above. Has switched to hiring only desperate fresh grads for low pay who do not have a frame of reference for what is normal and don’t push back on an abusive environment. Revolving door company. If a fresh grad is reading this and the choice is between working here and looking for another few months, save your mental health and keep looking.
