Pros

- Startup with ability to be agile when needed. - Decent benefits, PTO. - Respect work/life balance. - Appealing product concept for space. - Diverse team, good working level staff.

Cons

- Leadership are short-term focused thinkers with lack of long-term planning skills driven by their egos and/or desperation. - Do not take advice of more seasoned employees with experiences in the industry for their respective areas. Giving engineers with higher level degrees menial technician tasks. - Development and production plans are not followed when planned by working team - overruled by leadership when commitments made by them supersede other priorities. - Safety for employees not taken seriously until brought up by several employees, some who were let go mysteriously soon after speaking up. - Leadership cannot decide between development and production. Swinging back and forth between fulfilling customer orders with immature product and running testing on products.
