A dying company - werkgeversreview Engineer bij Data I/O

Good work life balance. Nice pay and bonus on years the company is profitable.

On years the company breaks even or is at a bit of a loss, no bonus. Even if you hit all your deliverables and requirements for one. Its understandable and frustrating at the same time.

- Lots of nice people at staff level and in production - Used to have reputation for work-life balance and decent benefits, but most pros eliminated by new CEO

- Company is in a no growth market and CEO has no strategy, only talks about himself and what he did ~20 years ago (incessantly) - New CEO manages by impulsive, random edicts and publicly degenerated team members - New CEO not at all focused - No clear requirements for engineers - New CEO doesn't understand product development or engineering, knows little to nothing about software development - New CEO doesn't appear to have ever built and supported a product - Company cuts costs on benefits, PTO, flexibility to make up for lack of growth and no viable strategy from new CEO - Company's tech and current market is a dead end, so are careers there
