Business outlook

Pros

The technical staff are overall very competent and solid. (But I don't know whether this can be maintained in spite of turnover.)

Cons

Software leadership is incompetent and toxic, kissing up and kicking down. Leaders insist on making poor decisions, then pass blame when results are bad. Salary compensation is really low compared to what one can get elsewhere. To make up for this, offers are accompanied by manipulative "sales tactics" around the future value of one's equity.

Lack of leadership and management transparency

Business outlook

Pros

- Excellent group interdisciplinary domain leadership. - Culture is of honesty, and compassion. - Innovative technology and excellent potential.

Cons

- Lack of upper level leadership. Dictatorship with no experience in production based products. - Leadership does not understand the difference between a science experiment and a product. - Leadership discounts the expertise of workers. - Does not offer competitive Pay, thus will never be able to hire or retain top talent. TC is typically half of what is offered in other companies. -
