      Interesting but horrible management, work life balance and values

      Pros

      Fresh new tech, interesting assembly, colleagues are fantastic. Everyone works very hard. Mission is enticing. Great for students out of college as you will get a ton of responsibility that another company would make you learn for years before experiencing.

      Cons

      Saw people getting fired for no reason. The demands were ridiculous and if you didnt agree to figure them out you were fired. Some of the smartest people in the industry worked here, but they were all fired. No culture, no values, no worklife balance.

      Pros

      Pay is good / Great benefits / Free shuttle service / Free cereal, milk, coffee

      Cons

      Too many leads or supervisors with minimal experience / confusion within teams / not enough time clocks per area / if you complain about conduct of your lead then you find yourself transferred elsewhere / human resources takes days to get back to you / favoritism is key for top reviews or promotions.

      Pros

      Great sign on bonus, great medical benefits, good people to work with, even if it's because expect to survive through herd immunity.

      Cons

      Lack of visionary middle management. Lots of managers out to make a name for themselves rather than really trying to motivate employees to help achieve company goals. Lots of underhanded approaches. Lots of managerial ethical flexibility. Watched a lot of people line their pockets and steal from customers and the company. Reporting this to upper and middle management didn't accomplish anything and ultimately - I was the one who lost their job. Heavy trial and error process implementation with a great lack of information sharing. Lots of nepotism.
