Great people, no plan - Engineer Mosaic Manufacturing Employee Review

Company Culture & Dynamics: The company boasts an excellent internal culture driven by supportive, collaborative, and genuinely nice colleagues. Work-Life Balance: The organization offers a highly accommodating work-life balance within a remarkably supportive, low-stress, and stable day-to-day work environment.

Team Composition & Mentorship: The engineering team is predominantly junior, creating a gap in senior mentorship and technical oversight necessary for complex project execution. Organizational Structure: The current reporting structure has a disproportionate manager-to-contributor ratio. Reducing organizational layers would streamline communication and allow more resources to be directed toward execution. Strategic Consistency: Frequent shifts in company direction over the past year have impacted project momentum, making it difficult to establish long-term technical stability. Compensation & Retention: Compensation strategy appears heavily reliant on individual negotiation rather than a proactive retention framework. Implementing structured compensation reviews would better signal that the company values and aims to retain its core contributors.

Coworkers are friendly, open, and collaborative. Some very smart people, and C-Suite does try to lead with good intentions.

Over the past 18 months a lot of money was put into hiring more senior leadership roles, without really evaluating the salaries or titles of longer term staff. It also began to feel as though priorities were constantly shifting, and decisions were being made reactively. In November the company laid off a huge chunk of the team which was very demoralizing and seemed to come out of nowhere. Things still lack direction. Salaries also on the lower side.
