Pros

Good benefits, free coffee, low salary, feeling of being watched, lots of whispering, get to look over your shoulder a lot

Cons

Management will tell you their door is always open, but behind closed doors your words will be twisted, and your spirit will be trampled. They will document only their side of the story, so ADE - always document everything. Somfy values were an HR/PR stunt, a bunch of garbage. People here are burnt out and under appreciated. The CEO is unapproachable, unemotional, undermining. Pompous. Dismissive. But mostly unnoticeable. The CFO seems to feel above America and our culture. There is no transparency; walls and curtains are up everywhere, literally and metaphorically.

Pros

Great benefits. Good parking. Coffee machine.

Cons

Nepotism rules somfy usa - people get hired for who they know, not what they know. Salaries are low because hirees are not knowledgeable in the field. Somfy claims they will train you but then gives no support. If you are not friends with someone in upper management, you will not be appreciated. The CEO in the US doesn’t talk to anyone except others in high management, he is unfriendly and unmotivating. Do not bother going to HR for anything - they are incompetent, very lazy and have a lot of dirt on the company so won’t be fired and are counting down days to retirement. Don’t trust HR either - they will change their handbook to suit their needs at any time. High turnover rate - it’s not always about business here.
