Painfully Growing - Engineer Geocomp Employee Review

I really loved the friendly and inclusive environment working at Geocomp

Very small company so departments were also small

I’ve worked here for nearly 7 years. This company is now on the right track under new leadership and I am making more money now than under the old leadership. They improved the 401K match to 7% as long you you contribute minimum 5%. The health insurance is the best I’ve ever had. Overall an excellent benefits package. 4 weeks vacation to boot once you’ve been here 5 years. You get 3 weeks on being hired. There’s a clause in the employee handbook if you’ve prior experience elsewhere for every 3 years prior experience you have you get 1 year credit towards your 4 weeks vacation. Make sure you ask about it! No one knows about it.

The former CEO is still hanging around. He’s an egotistical, micromanager who is supposed to be retiring soon. The company had a cyberbreach in 2021 because of his shortsighted management style and last year we found out 2 employees were stealing from the company because of his lack of oversight.
