Vantaggi
This is a good company if you like to work on a lot of projects in a fast-paced environment. There is not the technical depth that you might find at a larger company, but there are interesting projects and the potential satisfaction of having a large impact on the fate of the company.
Svantaggi
Intermolecular suffers from the same malady that is plaguing this country's culture: pragmatism. By that I mean a focus on the short-range at the exclusion of the long-range. What are some examples? One is the constant over-promising to customers of what the company can deliver. Another is constantly branching out into new areas and ventures, which causes a dilution of effort and prevents the development of expertise in the company. Successful companies operate by strict adherence to long-term considerations, just as successful individuals do. The focus of this company has to change from the short-term to the long-term if it is to remain in business.
