Chroma Technology reviews

Good pay, at least for the area. They have a profit sharing system. Benefits are strong, but have been trending downwards in my experience. Decent place to earn some cash, and then get out!

Chroma is a unique place to work because it's 100% employee-owned. Everyone on the Board of Directors is a current employee, voted in place by the other employees. That means policies are made with employees in mind, as well as the business. There aren't any outside owners just taking money out, or treating employees poorly. The compensation for many employees is well above market, although the higher salaried positions tend to be less competitive to market. All employees benefit from the same amount of profit-sharing twice a year, the same distribution of stock every year, generous 401k contributions regardless of what the employee contributes, and generous medical. For the most part, people are friendly and engaged; the kind of people you want to spend your day with. It's still a small enough company that you can make a big difference as an individual contributor. The company did really well keeping people safe when the pandemic hit. We were typically a step or two ahead of state and federal guidelines, and were very flexible to individuals' changing needs (flex shifts, lots of extra paid time off, working from home when possible). Many employees said they felt as safe at work as they did at home.
