Pros

I can’t think of one positive thing. I really wish I could. On the surface, the mission is amazing, but peel the layers back and you’ll find that greed and ego is what is running this company under the facade of a meaningful mission.

Cons

Everything. Don’t be lured by recruiters (that don’t even work there) who tell you all the good they’re doing or the company’s bright future. The CEO changes his mind more than you change your underwear - you’ll think you’ve got something great and they’ll rip the rug from under you, or change direction completely without any legitimate plans or reasons. You’ll become one of the “idiots” on Waleed’s long list of failures if you don’t just go along with every suggestion or show enough emotion at the appropriate times. This is a guy that doesn’t care about anything other than his ego and money. I’m convinced his heart is actually living in a box somewhere and he is hollow. He needs to sell the business or get out of the way so others can actually make it work effectively and for the long term.

Pros

Some passionate people who work hard You can make a big impact because the company is small but you will need to set boundaries hard and fast.

Cons

-Pay lags behind industry -Relocation details arent clear -HR stymie's career growth -Chaotic organization with conflicting goals and timelines -Many burnt out folks -Some in senior leadership dont listen to those below them. There is significant burn out in manufacturing due to unending overtime and continuous weekend overtime, with no end in sight. -looking back if i could talk to myself before starting here I would talk myself out of it.
