Top heavy management, low pay, no employee appreciation

Engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Work with great people who want to make great technology.

Cons

Below average pay. More and more upper level managers are being hired while talent is leaving due to constant reductions in work force. Less and less people working so everyone has to pick up the slack with no new hires. CEO says no employee appreciation anymore in all hands meetings while he sells $15 million in stock each quarter. Blames everyone but himself for low stock prices and low gross margins. This will be the year of a mass exorcist of talent. Life/work balance is all work. You don't want to work here anymore.
