Stressful - Anonymous employee Aputure Employee Review

Management is keen on its employees. The team is great. Work-life balance exists.

No bonuses and tips. Periphery is not available.

casual and comfy attire is welcome, great place for people with no work life balance.

All managers and upper management are men; there are three women in this office as a whole. Women are routinely undervalued, excluded, and left without much agency. Very few paths for growth unless you can be buddies with the important folks. Harassment is not uncommon and usually perpetrated by people in management as soon as they feel comfortable with you. The VP has often expressed that HR is a hindrance to him, and especially on business trips he loves to point out when HR is not present. The racial diversity leaves much to be desired as well. Any experience or point of view from anyone who isn't a man is disregarded. The company is very understaffed leaving employees to do the jobs of multiple people with no relief in sight. Many empty promises made. Management is inept, inconsistent, and embarrassingly out of touch. So many projects are left incomplete such as any budget or really any financial planning. A project one day is completely different the next on a whim, leaving everyone to catch up to try to make things happen. Processes and structures such as goal planning and meetings are subject to change every quarter. Decisions are only made behind closed doors by men in shorts trying to see who can speak the loudest. This place is a mess that needs improvement in every conceivable way.
