No Free Lunch

Pros

There is no free lunch from this company. You really need to prove your worth. If you want to be on top of the summit, you have to climb the mountain which should be easy with patience and hard work. I don't expect best of everything from this company because I am not the best and I am not contributing the most profit. However, I am happy with the company for providing an opportunity at the right time for the right person. I saw first hand how an intern engineer get to work on the cutting edge technology and how a secreatary got promoted to support, consultant, and leadership position.

Cons

No incentive plan yet. Would be mutual benefit to all, if employees have some ownership of the company.

Response from our CEO: I appreciate you taking the time to express your thoughts. I value what you shared and can empathize with your viewpoint. I genuinely hope that it is not too late to regain the trust and confidence that you once had in us. We have been very fortunate to have experienced organic growth for 20 years, evolving to be the #1 provider in our industry. We have earned our top position because of incredible talent like you who have exhibited relentlessness, passion and innovation for our company. We have learned tremendously throughout the years. We have experienced growing pains, while trying to make the right decisions, and in some cases we didn’t always get it right. As we continue to grow, I urge all of us to take each situation as a learning opportunity, which is vital to our growth. These are exciting times for us since we are in the midst of a major transition, which will undoubtedly transform us and continue to give us opportunities to grow beyond our potential. We are all dependent on each other, so each individual plays a significant role in our collective success. Each of us is responsible for redefining our future and success as well. Our culture will evolve, and we will continue to promote open conversation and dialogue, expand creativity, and bring out the best in each of us. Our best years are still ahead of us, and I hope that you will continue to be a part of shaping the future of ML. Tim Nguyen

Pros

Leadership that is honest and genuinely cares about employees (true story: the CEO once put my bike in the back of his truck and drove me home because of bad weather.) Managers and team leads encourage employees to grow, learn, and try new things, even if there's no guarantee of success. Lots of opportunity to make a difference and add your mark to the company if you put yourself out there. If a project or experiment doesn't pan out, employees are encouraged to learn from the experience, rather than assigning blame or punishment. I've always felt very secure in my job as long as I'm honestly doing my best to add value to the company.

Cons

When I first started with the company (over 5 years ago) there was very little communication between different teams and departments, which caused some duplicated efforts and misunderstandings/confusion at the time. Fortunately, they've gotten much better at communication since then, but from time to time things will still sometimes slip through the cracks. For employees who work remotely, or from a satellite office, the health insurance is quite a bit more expensive. When I moved away from HQ, that was tough at first. Also, there's this one specific button in the system that continues to taunt me with its very existence, despite my many attempts to get rid of it. (Though to be fair, that's more of a personal vendetta than a criticism of the whole company.)

We're happy to hear our Oregon office is just as happy as HQ. :) Thanks for all your years of service so far, and for sharing these nice comments. I can't help you with the dang button, but I did pass along your comments about health insurance to our HR Director.
