      Bad experience for me

      Smt technician
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Good benefits - Stock options - a lot of food trucks around the company. - Lunch at HQ with 5$

      Cons

      - No work life balance - Favoritism. If you boss like you, you will grow up every years. Otherwise, you should leave. - Lack of communication. - They don't care what you know, they care who you know. They hired a bunch of people with no experience or related to the job just because they are friends the management teams or engineers. - Poor management. - A lot of food trucks. But you should need at least one hour for you lunch to get line, order food and eat. Impossible for people work on production line with 30 mins lunch.
