Pros

shift work ok, laid back. no one expects anything to be done. ground level team very good.

Cons

Management childish and un-organized. control freaks who wont listen to ideas. there is no communication and expect to be bare face lied to about things. no long term career prospects or training from the very beginning. I lacked the proper PPE, tools and equipment to carry out my job for 3-4months. Your contract could be changed as and when was needed so no stability which is what drew me to the job in the first place. In summary ran by space cadets: No direction, no leadership, no transparency, no real effort to create anything.

It's no secret that these last few months have been a transitional period for our company. It’s also no secret that during this period, our evolving corporate vision has caused momentary frustration for many members of the CP team. However, the undeniable reality is that our technology is unparalleled in the market and thus poised to revolutionize industries. What needed fine-tuning was our go-to-market strategy and, now that that’s in place, and currently being relayed to our teams across the country, we’ve never been more confident in the future of Compound Photonics. If you’re still with the company, which we certainly hope you are, we ask that you remain patient as this transition completes and the next phase in the history of Compound Photonics commences.

Pros

I have been working for Compound Photonics for a little over 2 years. I feel the negative reviews on this site do not accurately reflect the culture or atmosphere that exists here. This is a great Company, and while it has it's short comings, I don't know of a single company that doesn't have any short comings. The Management team, especially my reporting manager have been extremely supportive and I feel they care about me as an individual, they understand the work life balance and are flexible which has really helped me and my family with recent life events. The Company I feel is committed to providing the tools necessary to the success of the company. I see this everyday as we are constantly helping different teams get the resources they need to accomplish tasks at hand across all our locations. If you come to work for us, be sure to come down and say hello to IT we enjoy getting to know the new faces at Compound Photonics and knowing what we can do to help.

Cons

This is a startup atmosphere, plans change and often very quickly. Sometime change comes before the communication, but if you like a fast pace and ever changing environment, then that wont be much of a con. It can be exciting and challenging.
