Pros

Nice campus, good benefits, and friendly people

Cons

Penumbra is grossly nepotistic. Promotions are not posted and staff are not given the opportunity to apply for promotions. Most director and above positions end up going to friends of the board. This is across multiple departments. The problem is completely systemic and goes to the top positions of the company (CEO, CBO).

Pros

- Gives back to the community - free coffee

Cons

- Mistreated the production staff. There should be a UNION to actually protect employees since HR does not know or care to. - very little diversity on the corporate side, white women does not mean you are diverse. - HR was not very competent and did they actually help when I complained about being discriminated against. They actually made the situation worse because they told the person I had complained and I felt like I had to quit because I was so uncomfortable and was mistreated more. - One of the recruiters was very inappropriate with an employee and nothing happened. - Underpays many roles, especially the production staff which happens to be mostly minorities. - No real values.
