Pros

Type of work is important as it's making purely natural products. Collaboration between departments is good at the non-management level employees.

Cons

Management has "lead by fear" culture, which causes high turnover. Not open to changes. Management says they have "open door" policy, but it's really chain of command.

Pros

Cyanotech actually works toward making people feel like they're important and cared about. Poor performance is coached and worked on until it no longer can be- Good performance is rewarded. Benefits are fantastic for all employees and pay is competitive. Profit sharing and stock programs are unrivaled by any company I've worked for. Leadership is taking this company in the right direction.

Cons

Some lack of new/ modern equipment, but it's on an upward trend.

Pros

For the most part, this company is a meritocracy. Most people who work here are friendly.

Cons

A lot of people work remotely these days so it can feel empty at times.
