Vantaggi

One of the first security industries internet-of-things companies with a track record of about 15 years.

Svantaggi

New employees when hired make at least 15K a year than employees that have been here for years. The company seems to have totally and fully are onboard with desiring to be like it's former owner as it hires management from that company. These upper level hires have micro management and trust issues. The company they came from has a very low rating and has issues in it's present and past. Why these people are view as highly as they are is a mystery. The company had a very unique culture as of about 2 years ago. There are also innovation issues. Still attempting to improve antiquated solutions. If the company continue this path we will loose ground in a rapidly changing internet-of-things world. We should explore a Google car model. Be ahead of the curb. There also is no real instruction for new hires. It seems that you go to a 2 week "boot camp" afterwards you are dropped off in the ocean with no boat or life raft. If you can swim, you will live, if not the prognosis is not good. The boot camp isn't hands-on or detailed to job performed as is. At present the new hire has to spend months deciphering how things work, when if trained properly can hit the ground running or at least more prepared.

Vantaggi

Company culture - the people are great. Decent benefits for a single person Interesting products and projects Work from home flexibility (2 days)

Svantaggi

Compensation could be more competitive for the area. Unfortunately, they are taking advantage of the employer market right now, and offering salaries 6k less than what starting salaries the year prior was offered. Your manager definitely has the biggest impact on your time here, with little regulation or management above them. It will entirely shape your experience, for better or for worse. Decreased work from home flexibility - when I accepted the offer, my recruiter told me it was typical for employees to work from home around the November and December holidays, with no need to take all your vacation days to do so. At the last minute, this norm was mysteriously taken away, and depending on your manager, employees were told to either use their vacation days or be in the office the day before and after Xmas. Cozy. The AI strategy here is starting to finally look like an actual strategy, but before that it was in every sense of the world a mania and definitely shifted the culture in a bad way. Kudos to the people who attempted to take leadership and actually formulate our strategy. HR here is kind of useless, the team is extremely bloated. Onboarding was not a fun experience.
