Pros

Some good people work there. Pretty decent pay. Good CEO

Cons

This company cares more about doing things quickly than doing them right. They are the oldest living start up I've ever worked for mainly because they can't get their stuff together. There is no sense of confidentiality. People's pay, benefits and complaints are spread all over the company. Multiple sites, but only one had any leadership and it was poor. They are anxious to get bought out because everything is such a cluster. Upper management does a bunch of underhanded things to protect themselves after they give unqualified people jobs they aren't equipped to perform. Instead of taking responsibility, they throw the employee under the bus and leave poor management in charge. People are extremely overworked. I left and did not look back. From what i hear i wont be the last.

Pros

Nothing good to say about this place

Cons

This leadership team continue to mis-manage good talent, especially those fresh minds with great ideas that really want to turn this place around. Keep ignoring good people leaving, and you’ll soon see the quality of work go down. This organization hires smart people and micromanages them until they want to leave. I came here with great spirits, but it’s like quicksand. Blatant favoritism on incompetent engineers only means that these people will continue to be alienated. HR is a joke in this company as the CFO moonlights as an pseudo HR, and does not treat sexual harassment, bullying, and retaliation with zero tolerance.

Pros

JVT has lot of money to invest on the company and product (not on people). Management is willing to drive projects fast and dont worry about cost (but not spending it on the right place). Lot of enthusiastic new hires (especially managers) willing to drive for success (their management style may not work for everyone).

Cons

- Lot of politics and fight for power - Poor wages, especially in Irvine - They dont care about your career development - No clear leadership, especially in Leeds - Lot of negativity and bullying - Higher up mangers take decisions in both sites and tend to ignore the lower scale staff (who may have good ideas and experience) - Employee turn over rate is shocking especially in Irvine - HR is for management only. No confidentiality. - No employee benifits - No flexibility on working and poor response to emergencies. - CEO needs to know the competition that is going on in the management teams - All they want now is sell up, everyone in US is waiting for that day. Not many left here.
