Pros

The company's size grew, but its structure was still that of a small Californian start-up. Therefore, there were more opportunities and flexibility (no real manufacturing processes).

Cons

Inconsistent policy enforcement (when there is one). Chaotic work environment where employees are only numbers and where incompetent HR assistants are overpowered to take random decisions.

Incoherent business processes and model. A very important project can be cancelled in a minute by an IM chat or a tweet. Manufacturing culture is inexistent. Also, you can be laid off/fired by a tweet in the middle of a Sunday night. Management and HR are totally incompetent. They couldn't run a serious car garage.

Advice to Management

Please, leave! You've all been brainwashed by your guru/"Techo king." You've lost your souls to please your "prince," whose behavior is as erratic as a 2-year-old.
