Pros

This startup is growing fast, and is a great place to learn a lot about the manufacturing industry. They’re definitely doing something that’s much needed in the marketplace. Quick turn machining is a plus in and of itself, but the fact that you can get a quote from them within minutes using their CAD software add-in is amazing.

Cons

Here’s where things get tough. Though each team is effective on their own, they don’t work together very well. This stems from the fact that each department is in its own silo, both physically and in terms of their jobs. On that same note, upper management is in its own silo away from everyone else, so the decisions they make tend to not have real-world impacts. The biggest gap here is communication. They say that they’re all about transparency here, but only when it comes to funding. Even then, it’s the most high level view of what’s going on. However, no one gets to see what we’re working towards, or where the money is being spent. In addition, goals from upper management are unrealistic, at best, and that really stems from a lack of understanding of the manufacturing industry.

We really appreciate your honesty in expressing both the ups and downs of working here. As a startup, we are learning what we need to improve on and we’re continuously making an effort to try to improve those areas. Communication is definitely something we are working on whether that be making sure that departments are talking and listening to each other, as well as making sure that we are being clear with our goals and most importantly, our strategies to reach those goals. While we’re definitely a work in progress, we feel that we are on the right track and trying to be better everyday. Nonetheless, we totally understand where you’re coming from and thank you again for letting us know. We hope the best for you and all your future endeavors.
