There were several transitions as the company grew rapidly, but things have smoothed out with new executive leadership in place.

So Much Potential Here, But It's Being Held Back

Pros

Co-workers working everyday in the trenches with you are awesome. Hard-working, helpful, looking out for each other. It's like a family. The product is very interesting, still has a lot of competitive advantages for being 30 years old, and it is manufactured at the facility rather than offshored. Used to be a great place to work! The foundation is there, and the company could really grow with new strategies, but the potential feels like it's being squandered.

Cons

You are paid under market for what the expectations of the job are. This used to be OK when we were reliably hitting a generous bonus every year and the work culture was solid, but neither are by any means sure things anymore. Top leadership is completely non-existent. There has been no CEO or onsite chairman since 2019, and the board are faraway venture capitalists whom you never see, yet they are making the most important decisions for the company. They are not lending the VP's support or holding them accountable. Some real cognitive dissonance there. No quality control processes whatsoever - a big problem for a $40 million manufacturer. Some long-tenured, productive employees have left for these very reasons.

Pros

Fellow designers/engineers were very helpful when you needed it.

Cons

Management was never available. Constantly working 10-12 hour days. Project load was almost unbearable. Very stressful environment.
