Company to Avoid - Manager Acellent Technologies Employee Review

Pros

Opportunity to travel and work in varying projects, interact with differing people and technological needs, and generally with great (but fatigued) co-workers.

Cons

Incompetent and abusive top management. The chairman of the board, married to the president/CEO, is a Stanford professor who has great fear and resentment of people with insights that often extend beyond his own vision. Workers are frequently told to perform actions that are different from what the customers want, putting the workers in difficult positions with displeased customers. Management makes frequent trips to China, with apparent technical exchanges, and runs the Sunnyvale company like a tiny fiefdom. Company meetings seem to go on forever, and certain employees are excoriated during the meetings for reasons that seem to have more to do with how management respects them rather than their actions or lack thereof.

Pros

As an intern, it was definitely an awesome opportunity to network with the most brilliant minds in Silicon Valley. It was nice to work on cool products and get a solid grasp on how said projects were managed. There were great perks; ranging from several free lunches with fellow interns to VP panel speeches.

Cons

For parts of the day, management was busy, so I was just working with the other interns on the project. This, though, taught me how to spend my time wisely and work independently.
