Pros
It should be noted a few of reviews of Gener8 are by angry people who may have left the company on bad terms. I'm still with the company and am someone who has done relatively well for herself so I hope I can make this relatively truthful. -Work with a plethora of industries and customers. Lots of medical and life sciences product experience if you're interested in that. -Free lunch every day. -Diverse group of engineers with a much better than average gender ratio. -Very intelligent and experienced engineers as coworkers, many Phds. -No travel needed. -Flexible and capable manufacturing technicians.
Cons
-Managers don't provide growth opportunities, training, feedback, or reviews. They seem to be too busy trying to keep projects from crashing and burning than to worry about employee retention or happiness. -Essentially no opportunities for promotion -CEO does not trust the people he hires and has created a culture of constant micromanagment, second guessing, and justification for every engineering and operational decision made by a employee. He seems to think he can get people to do things by yelling and making a scene. High expectations are fine, but immature and hostile behavior is not ok. He is a very uninspiring figure. -Incredibly unhealthy corporate culture in operations. Tempers are high and heated arguments can quickly become unprofessional. -The lack of management and hostile culture the CEO has created leads to an awful swing between complete lack of priorities and direction in a project and then total micromanagment and outrage about the lack of progress. -CEO reviews every PR and will grill you about buying $20 of tools -General lack of comfortable office conditions. Chairs are old, uncomfortable, and breaking. Restroom is constantly dirty, toilets broken, floor is covered in urine. I'm embarrassed to bring in clients for meetings. -Lack of diversity in upper management. Execs are all older white men -Lower than average PTO, no 401k match, offsite HR resources.
