      Poor upper management / CTO

      Process engineer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good pay and stock/retirement options. Good benefits.

      Cons

      The CTO upper management added in the past year or so has made the organization very unfocused and internally paranoid due to lack of any real communication. Anytime a question is asked at an all hands they will dodge the question and give non answers, leading to even more confusion and paranoia in the department. Highly recommended to not join CTO, I have heard good things about most of the rest of the company.

      Good Company but Not Perfect

      Engineering technician ii
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Amazing benefits such as life insurance, short and long term disability, 401k match, stock discounts, generous PTO and Sick time (2 separate balances of hours to use) and if you like cutting edge it's interesting to learn about how microprocessors are built.

      Cons

      Promotion opportunities are infrequent and once you're in the company they only give you a 2% annual raise. You can promote "tiers" or "ranks" for a larger raise but they try to stifle financial growth as much as possible making job hopping seem a better option than company loyalty. I've seen people with less industry experience hire in at nearly 40% higher pay than someone who stuck with the company and tried to promote from within.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Get paid for doing nothing and nobody will ever be questioned about it. People can cry to HR for nothing and get people in trouble and FIRED with lies. Take long lunch and break. Don't have to actually CALL in late or off. Just send a txt.

      Cons

      Working for Mark Hamlin. a lead having to do everyone else's work. Unable to make someone do there job without HR getting involved. People who have fake Degrees.
