Pros

Front line staff is phenomenal to work with. The only way to survive is to form an allegiance with your coworkers and that is very easy to do because they are all great!

Cons

The company culture is a huge sham. The leaders tell us how to "act" and "behave" when we have visitors or when the BOD is on site. The CEO has many faces depending on who is in the building. Micromanagement is to an extreme. Upper management takes turns throwing each other under the bus rather than focusing on company goals.

Pros

The main reasons to work at the firm are the impact of the project on the environment and global warming and the fact that the funding is coming from a successful VC firm in California that scored many success startup business and brought them to IPO.

Cons

The wages are low compared to the amount of work and level of commitment required. The offer of equity in the company is fair but doesn't provide any immediate value. 2 years non-compete clause is built in the contract. The CEO is very controlling and micromanages every activity in the company, the outcome is not much freedom.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. Sakti3 strives to be the employer of choice and we are sorry your experience was not exemplary. We have also striven to provide best-in-class benefits, offering fully paid healthcare premiums from our first year of operation. Our benefits package has grown stronger, year after year. In addition to offering top-quartile pay and fully funded medical benefits, we offer a 401(k) with generous employer match, generous stock options, a holistic on-site educational wellness program, and an extremely talented group of peers. Our culture emphasizes collaboration, teamwork, and an environment guided by mutual respect and trust. We understand the value of work-life balance and have set several policies in place to insure workload and work shifts are not unreasonable.
