Vantaggi

The manager for the support department is generally very knowledgeable on his field and is pretty easy to work with. Most of the actual workers within the office are pretty helpful when asked. 9-5 hours with little to no expectation of overtime. Typically, you will not be expected to stay late at the office to finish up a project. Pay is decent, nothing out of this world but it's alright for the industry. Benefits package was also fine, though the company changed providers multiple times in the short while I was with them.

Svantaggi

Company culture is very odd. The company has some aspects of South Korean management styles that have held out. The work environment often felt like you were being monitored constantly. This culminated in one of the security cameras moving over the weekend to provide a full view of everyone's monitors in the support department. Aside from that, everyone in the office is usually deathly quite. In nearly a year of working there I don't believe I talked to at least 5 of the developers more than once. Aside from that, there's very little actual 'support' work to be done. Much of the job's day to day work revolves around technical writing and updating manuals, tutorials, etc. If you enjoy technical writing you'll like the job, but be prepared for an 90-10 split that is dominated by technical writing. The company's U.S. office is still incredibly small, and as such advancement opportunities are few and far between, especially for engineers with no interest in software development. Outside of Support, most of the management seem to be in over their heads.

Vantaggi

I’m a current employee at CIMON, and it’s been a really positive experience. The company is doing great things in industrial automation, with top-notch PLC, HMI, and SCADA products. The work environment is supportive, and there are plenty of opportunities for growth and development. Management genuinely cares about employees, which makes it a great place to work.

Svantaggi

Communication between departments could be improved; sometimes it feels like information gets lost in the shuffle.

Vantaggi

- High potential for growth within the company and your career, based on your performance and initiative. - Reasonable salary relative to expectations and experience level. - Friendly and capable coworkers. - Healthy and open communication within the same level; if you have a question or need help, people are quick to respond. - Low pressure; when minor issues arise, your job security doesn't come into question. - Good work-life balance; developers get flex schedules. Overtime is very rare for most departments and is compensated. - Solid benefits and decent PTO. - Mini-benefits like snacks, company dinners, company outings, etc. - Everyone has a voice in the direction of the product and the company.

Svantaggi

- Lack of direction at the corporate level; decisions are made based on short-term benefits rather than long-term strategy. - When customers make requests, it often results in ongoing objectives (including those you've already worked on) being delayed or cancelled. - Managers receive very little training. - Company-level communication is poor; it can be unnecessarily difficult to get answers to basic questions, and it's not always clear who is in charge of which responsibilities. - Lack of planning and organization for day-to-day work; teams mostly work on what they think is important in the moment. Long-term goals have low priority. - Lack of authority for product/feature decisions; because everyone has a voice, the loudest voice often wins.
