Vantaggi

The talented employees are the greatest asset of this company. One of the smartest scientist and engineers in Silicon Valley and the world. The new VP of HR is a world class professional and trying his best to address all the legacy ills of Picarro, one at a time.

Svantaggi

Absent CEO (Alex Balkanski). Has a very condescending attitude and often engages in public dressing-down of reportees and employees. Has a serious lack of leadership and avoids tackling issues head-on. Prefers a backstabbing approach with those who disagree with him. Compensation-wise, execs are over-compensated while the rest of the employees are under-compensated. Execs are a group of vultures trying to swoop on each other whenever they have a chance. Unusually high turn around of key employees in various departments.

Vantaggi

• Work is meaningful — the solutions we deliver make a real difference in industrial and field applications. • Strong, reliable team with people who know their craft and are willing to step in and help when needed. • Good mix of field work and technical challenges that keeps things practical and engaging. • Leadership supports problem-solving and respects people who take accountability and get the job done. • The interview process clearly laid out the company’s direction and was a major factor in my decision to join.

Svantaggi

It’s fast-paced, but if you’re hands-on and like tackling real problems, it works in your favor.
