Pros

Lower-level employees are great to work with Weekly lunch allowance Potential for success exists

Cons

Leadership is a joke across the organization, they treat the company as a get-rich-quick scheme & are living in la-la land - no awareness of the ugly reality that exists within the company HR is clueless and contributes nothing to employee satisfaction No clearly defined roles & responsibilities Weak program & project management Work-life balance is awful Business processes change on a daily basis Bureaucratic, lots of finger-pointing, managers stealing credit from low-level employees, people concerned with "looking good" to upper management rather than doing the right thing

Pros

Innovative technology with high potential if execute correctly

Cons

Poor C level and executive team includes inexperience founder trying to sail the ship. Lots of politics for a small company. Terrible. Recruiting weak and mostly retired ex semi executives into the company making the company going nowhere. Only average base salary. No bonus. Fake IPO dream never going to realize

Thank you for your review. We appreciate your tribute to Kateeva’s innovative technology. We’re proud that the co-founder team behind the early innovation is still pushing technology limits at Kateeva to engineer differentiated products that offer enabling value to customers. Positioning our products in the marketplace takes similar skills found in industries known for building complex capital equipment like semiconductor process tools. It’s a deeply competitive business, as you well know. To attract the best talent, therefore, we offer salaries that match market rates, and medical benefits that exceed the average. We regret that your experience at the company was not satisfying for you. We wish you success in your future endeavors.
