Hard work, with little opportunity for advancement outside of a pilot's interest in simulators - werkgeversreview Mechanical Engineer bij RealSimGear

Autonomous work flow and no micro management, good people

sometimes can become chaotic, since it is a small company it can become an all hands on deck situation

- Flexible work schedule; truly is a family first company. - Decent pay for what the market rate is. - Zero accountability across the entire company; so if you make an error, it's just a finger-shaking talking to. - There are some really great people who no doubt you can form life long friendships with. -The #2 is a fantastic manager with real world executive experience, yet even he gets kneecapped by the CEO. He truly cares about the process of prototype, to production, to customer satisfaction. Furthermore, he cares about employee happiness and will literally be the only one to enact change AND enforce it.

First, you need to understand that this company spawned from a side project out of a garage, and grew massively in an untapped industry. The owner has zero management or leadership ability. Because of that, (and couped with the fact that he resides in another country and is not on-site) - the San Diego location is the most chaotic environment I've ever worked in. The engineering department is ran and staffed by inexperienced (both professionally and in life experience) individuals. They are not mentored nor are they given proper direction on how to function within a team and company environment. This is the root of the problem. They are given carte blanche, and operate unchecked. Daily interactions between production and engineering become hostile and is the weakest link in the company. This company has lost a lot of good people because they were unwilling to put up with the unprofessionalism and lack of accountability.
