Pros

Some great coworkers. Overall easy laidback atmosphere. The bad culture is beginning to change. Great desk setup - standing desk option and 2-3 monitors.

Cons

HR is a joke. Pay is not even REMOTELY competitive. Can't keep new people (who have been there <10 yrs) because low pay and drama. Other departments constantly need help from the engineering department. Takes YEARS for people to get the title and pay that matches their work/workload.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are glad to see that you enjoyed your co-workers and the direction the company culture is going. However, we’re surprised to read your opinion regarding the compensation structure in place. Our group recently conducted a location specific compensation study, creating a structure that ensures competitive pay and equity. We are dedicated to adhering to our compensation philosophy of rewarding our employees for their hard work.
