Beware of owner promises - Anonymous employee Applied NanoStructures Employee Review

Great working environment, niche technology. An excellent organization that provides conducive environment to learn and grow in the MEMS process in a fully equipped laboratory.

AppNano is currently a small business, however there is huge potential to grow.

Extremely small team, everyone is friendly besides the owner

Since it is a small team you are dealing a lot with the owner. He is indecisive, goes back and forth on his words a lot, and if you suggest anything to improve the work-abouts for the company you are immediately on his bad side. There is miscommunication all the time because he is not clear with what he wants, and if you ask questions he will think you do not understand anything. He acquires absolutely no leadership skills, but yet when you are there to help he will be annoyed. He doesn’t want to teach people so if you are new to the industry be aware for his personality and how he manages the company. The owner definitely gives out false hope and empty promises, and will not allow you to move forward with the company. There are plenty of other tech companies to work for rather than staying here and slaving away for him.
