Pluspunten

Smart engineers, people care about making the technology work.

Minpunten

Where to start?! This company and it's leadership are a disaster. 1. Manufacturing and engineering are expected to deliver yesterday. Sales is expected to sell bad products with promises. Marketing is expected to do nothing except write blog posts and host 1 event per year. HR team is not experienced to handle employee dissatisfaction and build company culture. 2. Complete lack of diversity. If you're not a white Stanford male, good luck ever being a leader. The CEO hires his unqualified Stanford bros to be leaders and had to find a token white woman to join the leadership team. Non-white employees don't get promoted because leadership believes "titles aren't important." But hey if you're white, they'll give you a director title with minimum experience! 3. There is no culture. They made "work hard" part of the culture, which just means if you don't work until 10pm, you're slacking. 4. Unless if you're the head of marketing, then you can get away with doing minimal work, except prematurely announcing things in the press. And hiring more event directors during a pandemic (and recession) to host 1 webinar. 5. The white Patagonia Stanford crew act like they're allergic to bro culture, but actually create an immature environment of trash talking competitors and pushing more of their kind through expedited interview processes.
