Business Outlook

Pros

Great people to work with.

Cons

Zero communication and true leadership. Rarely do you see those making the important decisions out on the floor. The culture that has developed is dysfunctional. No accountability. Unrealistic expectations. Inability to properly plan across the board. Everything is urgent, everything is ‘now’. Expectations to put your life on hold for the company at the drop of a hat. There were signs of life at the end of 2022, but since then has rapidly gone down hill.

Onto Innovation Response

Thank you for your feedback. In this rapidly changing business environment, we strive to be as flexible and adaptive as possible. We would certainly appreciate if you gave more detail here, ontotalentacquisition@ontoinnovation.com so that we can further address and assess.

Moving in the right direction!

Pros

Every organization has bumps in the road, but we are moving in the right direction. Communication has increased, a lot of transparency on business direction ups and downs. Employees might not always agree with decisions, but I have always found leaders to be forthcoming and approachable. CEO and COO are very approachable, always walking around and happy to stop and talk. Very good compensation, the company has been performing well, bonuses have been very good.

Cons

Sometimes it is a little quite in the office, the company still allows employees a lot of work flexibility. This is great but always good to see a crowded cafe. Working on a lot of process, can be painful sometimes but the efforts have yielded results already!

Onto Innovation Response

Thank you for taking the time to let us know your thoughts. We work hard to meet expectations like yours, and we’re happy to hear we hit the mark for you.
