I Genuinely Love My Job

Field operations manager

Pros

I have been employed by Focal for over 2 years now. Everyday I feel blessed to grow with this incredible company, working alongside the rest of our amazing staff. I sincerely hope to spend the next 10+ years of my life working with the team that I've grown so undeniably fond of.

Cons

You will be expected to devote a very large portion of yourself to your work. Success is never something that can be given, it must be earned.

One of the best companies I have worked at

Hardware engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

I have been looking for a company where I have the autonomy/support to get the job done, that is fast paced, where I am surrounded by people who are all devoted to the same cause. And this is it! The company is very tight knit which is a really good feeling. Very hard working. Very smart. All things that I wanted. So far this has been a great experience and I am excited to continue on.

Cons

Not much. If I were to say anything, I'd say that Focal likes to attract/retain very specific types of people, type As. So sometimes it is like drinking out of a fire hose and it is a constant feeling like, how do I do better today. I'd rather that though compared to previous jobs where everyone is trying to do the bare minimum and you feel like you are wasting your life. :)

Pros

Huge growth. They take personal growth seriously when reasonable. For example, they have the "Focal Infinite Library" program which allows people to get any book they want for free as long as they present it to the company. This is so cool. I did this a few times. This and a few other things they do allow people to switch careers if they want to. We had someone at Focal who was in Field Ops and now they are a Mechanical Engineer here. There was another Field Ops person who know runs Supply Chain. Very cool that they take this serious.

Cons

Not much negative to say.
