Lots of work, too many hours, but intense amounts of learning
Lots of work, too many hours, but intense amounts of learning
Proud to work there. Lots of hands-on experience and the freedom to do your own work. Opportunities to take work from beginning to end.
Disrespectful managers with no regard for regular work hours. Expect to work about 60 hours a week minimum and get paid only for 40 hours. The salary does not compensate for what the company demands of employees. Significant lack of organization throughout the company, which was a constant source of annoyance.
Create a solid level of organization. Pay the engineers better, or at least give them better benefits that compensate them. You cannot run the engineers at 110% speed, or they will burnout. The current structure of the company is not sustainable.
