Pros

Many excellent first Line Managers. Great group of engineers. Working environment is ok. Challenging projects, but started too late with too few resources (see Cons).

Cons

Project planning is weak. Projects are typically under staffed. Projects tend to start late, ie 2nd or 3rd company in the race. Little advanced research and development. Compensation is average at best. Some second and third line managers are weak.

We appreciate your honest feedback and we will take your opinion into consideration moving forward. We do agree that we have great engineers and managers who are doing an excellent job, and one of our guiding principles is to hold ourselves accountable to enable empowerment at all levels. We are building a team of engineers and managers who operate in this way – not expecting, wanting, or allowing micromanagement to occur.

Pros

Great technology and colleagues. New CEO is driving high performance culture

Cons

Extremely political workplace. Team is led by an insecure leader who lacks vision for the company and her team. Everyone is set up for failure. Team is not empowered to succeed.
