Pros

Exposure Free lunch Full Health Plan In Sunnyvale

Cons

Even though you are a full time employee: No 401k matching No profit sharing No stock option No annual performance review; that's to avoid giving you an increase No sick days nor jury duty leave and pay No referral program Low PTO+holiday No work phone plan, you actually call customers with your personal plan and phone The bonus is handled by the owner and is not proportionate to the amount of billable hours done in a given quarter Every single purchase request needs to be approved by the owner, even for pencils, standing desk of whatever you want for your cubical; usually gets rejected. Every single bonus or increase is carefully modified and concluded by the owner The owner and/or the VP do shark walks about half a dozen times per day Need to wait for your turn to open SolidWorks because of the lack of licenses You will have a slow laptop if you end up joining Yes, you got it, it's a very cheap company And they don't understand why they can't hire..

Pros

The people that I worked with were great. The company has a lot of potential if they focus on what makes money.

Cons

No equity amongst staff, treat the people that come to work everyday better. No systems in place to get things done.
