Pros

Insurance benefits were pretty good for exempt employees

Cons

Before joining the group, I had thought that it was normal that bad managers might exist in a company more or less. However, I hadn't expected that a manager could be so horrible as mine, who's totally a drama person making up a lot of fake scenerios/stories to attack anyone she/he disliked. Below are some summaries. They may not be complete, but I just wanted to offer some ideas how terrible this "particular" manager was: -Nano-management. i.e., she/he checked instantly what time you went to the restroom, and what time you returned to the lab. -Darked-hearted. Her/his weird brain often converted friendly comments/suggestions to bad ones. Eventually, those working with her/him tended to remain silent in front of her/him, as speaking with her/him finally became a torture to everyone. -Super un-professional, often hidden in her/his office to play games. Bad-mouthed, even interfered group members' personal life. i.e. she/he disliked the way a group member spent his own money, then she/he would tried to find faults with this group member. What the hell? What on earth did someone else' money have anything to do with her/him? -A liar, true liar! Enjoyed faking all kinds of stories to attack anyone she/he disliked. Everyone in the group, of course except for herself/himself, even people outside the group, had been framed by her/him multiple times. ............ A truly ugly ugly person. You might wonder if I talked to HR about the manager's misconducts. Unfortunately, HR was useless....... However, if you have decided to join Headway, I do wish you best luck that your manager won't the same one as mine at Headway.

Pros

Small but very Fast paced company, ever changing technology although HDD industry seems saturated or "OLD". Thanks to cloud storage. Work Life Balance is "Normal" considering the culture in the valley. Bonus package is very good even tough the pay is lower than Industry Average.

Cons

Poor People management. Hardworking people are always working hard with little recognition or no appreciation. Office politics is in inevitable in any company so that shouldnt be a surprise. Sometimes work can be monotonous and there are very limited opportunities to grow or change responsibilities
