Pros

Flexibility in terms of vacation days, Fun and friendly employees who are united by bad management. Good concept of technology

Cons

Upper management is so product oriented rather than being process oriented due to lack of technical knowledge or skills Management wants to keep acquiring new clients rather than focusing on one product and proving the technology Twice the number of projects than employees No learning curve because you get pulled into doing menial tasks

Thank you for your thoughts. DryMAX is a start up R&D company perfecting a new technology that is "new Science" and thus, is learning and looking for capital. The interns, such as this, were told in the interview that we are a drying company, it will be very hands on and that they will learn a wide variety of skills. It will be dirty (as all drying is) but rewarding for those who want to help develop the tech and receive shares in the company. "Management" keeps things moving so that we can learn through many types of products. Our main focus has always been grain drying, however, it is only here "wet" for 30 days out of the year. The rest of the year we are learning to dry materials that push the edges of what we know. All employees are valued - opinions, skills and knowledge - even from interns - contribute to the success we have built. It is not a desk job.

Pros

I enjoyed the freedom that the company gave me as a software developer: I was given the desired outcome and I worked towards it

Cons

I was pushed to do less software work and more physical labour R&D work closer to the end of my employment there

Pros

Coworkers are nice and fun to talk to

Cons

Not much say in research or design, everything is overruled by the boss and ultimately you just feel like you are his puppet to build. Time is really limited, you are given too much work to actually complete at once and you are forced to work sloppy or carelessly to keep up. The initial proposed work for the job is much different from the actual work. You do much more cleaning then actual engineering and the boss constantly will ask you to stop what you are doing and clean rather then preform vital experiments. The boss is very condescending and doesn't show much if any respect to his employees. It felt as if the boss did not care about employees or employees time or employees knowledge and would overrule what ideas the employees would offer in design and research You are forced to work long shifts and weekends seemingly at whim of the boss. I guess this is a positive cause you might actually get the amount of money you should be payed from the overtime. You get to clean a lot, which is great if you want to learn how to better use the vacuum or want to be better at sweeping the floor. 0/5

Interns are hired to learn and grow into a new science that is not taught in text books. We are R&D, designing, modeling and developing prototypes. Interns have built things on their own, with flexibility, that do not work, and it can take 3-6 weeks out of a very time pressured commitment to a customer. It is important to work together and find a path of best hopes of success. Interns may not have the skillset to build a very complex prototype without direction. We appreciate the contributions of all our interns. DryMAX is a drying company, and things arrive wet and must be dried. Materials can be easy or smelly or hard to work with, but all will rot if left more than 2 days. To preserve a customers' material and cost of experimenting, there are times that employees are asked to work different shits or weekends. This is the nature of drying - some material is only available during harvest. We request before we hire that all understand the nature of what we do here.
