Pros

Flexible schedule, Friday half days (but see cons about work hours) Good benefits Most employees are good to work with and want to do a good job Challenging work

Cons

Dictator CEO, not receptive to ideas/won't listen, does not recognize hard work, constantly complains and berates people in front of peers, subordinates, anyone. Unilaterally sets unrealistic schedules/goals/financial targets and explodes when not met. Constantly changes direction and blames others. Insensitive, micro-manager, no respect for others. CEO attacks anyone, even entry level people, without going through the person's direct manager. None of senior managers will stand up to CEO. Hours are insane. Friday's are 1/2 days but no one can leave on time! People are expected to work 24/7 and then some. People are expected to work on holidays/vacations. High turnover and low morale. People have been fired in their 1st week on the job, others have quit within weeks of starting, some have given it a few months but just walked out. People are not given the tools they need to succeed. Work harder and figure it out yourself environment.

Pros

Great company to get real experience with cutting edge technologies. Not for everyone. If you planning just seat 9 to 5 it won’t work.

Cons

Interesting projects Cutting edge technologies Good and friendly environment Friendly teams

Pros

Company is trying really hard to grow.

Cons

I want to be candid from an engineering perspective while remaining fair. During my time evaluating Quake Global’s products, I observed that recent supply-chain shifts and tariff pressures appeared to impact component sourcing and overall product consistency. Much of the hardware is manufactured overseas, which may introduce variability in quality, lead times, and long-term support depending on vendor stability. From a technical standpoint, the solutions can work for certain use cases, but I would recommend conducting thorough performance validation, reliability testing, and lifecycle cost analysis before large-scale deployment. In my view, the value proposition depends heavily on the specific application, integration requirements, and tolerance for hardware refresh cycles. I’m sharing this feedback transparently because I believe organizations benefit from clear technical due diligence. At the same time, I am actively seeking new opportunities and would welcome the chance to contribute my engineering skills to a team where product quality, innovation, and long-term reliability are top priorities.
