      Bad Management Ruins It

      Pros

      Most of the people at Magnopus are very nice. The company is pretty accommodating to people’s lives. Pay is decent. Unlimited time off.

      Cons

      Many good people who love the company get mistreated and mismanaged. Experts are often ignored. People who are unproductive or unskilled often get preferred treatment. Any problems reported with coworkers result in immediate separation. You will likely not work on things that match your career goals. Projects are not budgeted properly. Nepotism is a slight issue.

      Thanks for your feedback, and for the time you spent with us! I know we've been criticized in the past for "holding on to people" and "not firing quickly enough." And you're right, people who may be underperforming get more attention than those who are performing well. We do that because we think it's what's right to do, and we've seen positive results from it. In fact, sometimes those "under-performers" have turned out to be our greatest assets when we find the thing that gives them meaning and purpose. Sometimes what one person thinks is "un-productive or unskilled" is actually just "different" and we like to take time to explore the possible value of "different." Certainly, it doesn't work out all the time, and sometimes we don't do as good a job of supporting everyone as we'd like. Admittedly, there are people who get frustrated with that because they embrace a "survival of the fittest" corporate mentality. As you found out, those people are probably better off at another company, and that's ok. We can definitely be doing better, as you suggest, and will continue to look for the right ways to do it.

      A unique company with great potential that needs to address its growing pains.

      Pros

      - Great benefits - Inspiring projects - Difficult problems to solve at a software, hardware, and human level - Leadership circle who cares* (see cons) - Upward mobility for those who ask for it* (see cons) - Big amount of impact on the final product - Great resume builder - Talented coworkers - New(er) production staff is amazing and really cares about the team. - Everyone has something to teach and readily gives this knowledge

      Cons

      - Leadership cares, but needs to acknowledge the inner circle that has formed as the company has grown. There are high ups in design and engineering who act unprofessionally to people below them. These people need to understand what is and is not okay when they reach that level at a company. Do they have any oversight? Have they had any leadership training or did they just move up because they served the company well? Tenure is not good enough. Give them the tools to be more equitable leaders who can see past their own opinions and egos. Hold them accountable. - The CEO should not try to direct projects while also running the company. It adds far too much noise, detracts from the heavy lifting done by the rest of them, and is not as helpful as them being a great CEO (which they are). - Tons of micromanagement and thrashing from production and leads, who scramble to find solutions but often can hardly decide things amongst themselves. - The company is still figuring out what mobility looks like at its larger scale. Softer personalities seem to rarely win a the loudest person in the room is sometimes the only one that's heard. - All in all, I would recommend the company but with various caveats. If Magnopus addresses its growing pains, leadership and cultural improvements, it can be a great place to work.
