Pros

Good people to work with. Decent Benefits Profit Sharing

Cons

Almost all positions are paid below the national average. A lot or projects get forced with out much training or just isn't ready to be deployed. Certain things seem to be passively aggressively forced upon us. (Religion/Being healthy) Smoking is banned at plants but this doesn't stop certain Management employees to drive offsite 10 times a day to smoke.

Great company, but not a fit for me

Pros

POET is doing great things when you look at it from the outside and general public, however there are some things going on internally that made me really uncomfortable such as the religious approach the execs and some others are suddenly taking on and the HUGE amount of pressure to be "healthy" when we were told it is a choice, but yet many of our choices were forced upon us - not ok. Comparing POET to other organizations, it is very technologically advanced and has some of the best working for them - that's something to brag about.

Cons

This company spends money like it's going out of style. While it can afford to, I think it should be monitored a bit closer. Some of the head engineers and some other managers have egos the size of Texas and they are allowed to get away with treating all others like they are scum of the earth - again, not ok.

Golden Handcuffs. Very cold and untrustworthy team members. Executive leadership is a revolving door.
