Pros

Working at Inrad you will gain many new skills that can be applied in and out of the optical manufacturing field. The people you work along side are very personable and the hiring staff are very excepting of who you are and what background you may have.

Cons

Toxic company politics made it hard to get simple task accomplished properly. Many of the decisions made by upper management were consistently questioned by employees, some of which had 20 plus years of experience working with the materials in question. The improper archiving of complex procedures and operations is limited by lower level management and has proven to be a problem that halts production.

Hi, this is Amy Eskilson, President & CEO of Inrad Optics. Thanks for the review/feedback. I appreciate your thought on courses for managers, and we do offer training of this kind. Communication is key. And we really do try to keep workplace politics out of the equation, as a small manufacturing business we really are in this together.

Pros

The work is interesting, it changes often, and is sometimes complex. Most of the fellow employees are enjoyable to work with.

Cons

It is a publicly traded company and must conform to the rules and whims of the board. The facilities are old and in need of repair.
