Poor foresight and market research of technologies. Lack of coherent direction effectively wasted the time and efforts of many people during my tenure.
Poor management did not welcome criticism at the time or provide proper tools.
Looks like they managed to make something eventually though.

CTO is a great engineer with zero management experience, other than a brief stint in the Air Force. So the only thing he knows is complete obedience and anything he perceives as loyalty. Many good people have left or were shown the door simply because they complained about his poor organizational skills.

Potential is here but outgrew their revenue
|
|
Finsix is a small engineering led company with potential but a limited current product line.. They've made a few missteps that led to a late 2016 layoff and need to determine whether their main product (Dart) has a market at a price-point they can meet.
Pros:
Strong engineering team with unique skill sets
Open and cross-functional environment and problem solving
Dog friendly (a plus to most but not all current employees)
Open office plan integrating desks, lab and supporting functions makes project communication easy.
|
The power electronics technology behind the Dart product is state of the art but comes at a relatively high retail cost and took longer than expected to launch. A second product line is needed quickly
Cons:
Dart's market attach rate and market penetration potential are unproven
Recent layoffs have people looking over their shoulders - there's a sense another shoe will drop
C Level staff is relatively green -- This is most obvious when things don't go well

Focus on frequent communication especially when going through the rough spots. There is a sense that bad news trickles out through insiders rather than is openly discussed. The team supports the product and can handle hearing about problems.

Lost Opportunity with FINsix
|
|
Great people.
Nicely crafted initial product in Dart.
Lots of dogs in the office. You can bring your dogs to work.
|
Poor communication and poor direction. Difficult to trust.
No money; we don't pay our suppliers.
Inexperienced CEO/CTO. "Bad apple" comment in other review is spot-on.

- Smart, hard-working, committed team
- Diversity of backgrounds, experiences and perspectives
- Building innovative products that people love to use
- Office centrally located along 101
- Learn something every day
|
- Resources are spread thin so there are times when people need to work long hours

Best start to career
|
|
Get to work with anything you want to work on if you have the bandwidth. Excellent opportunity to learn and grow.
Friendly people, willing to take time to teach you stuff and mentor you.
Dogs!

This is not a con on Onchip as per say, rather its a con of working in any startup. Professional licenses are very expensive (run in millions of $$), and there could be a crunch on available licenses. But in the 2+ years I worked, with correct time management between employees, there never was a time when we were short on licenses.

One bad apple at FINsix (formerly OnChip Power)
|
|
A startup with customers lining up! The people are very friendly and it has been mostly a great experience. Even with their difficulties they will likely succeed eventually.
|
The CTO is a little tyrant who likes to use passive-aggressive bullying to impose impossible deadlines that are backed by no planning. He is very smart engineer, but has no experience as a manager and no people skills.

The CTO has no business skills and no management skills, do not let him manage people or products. Let him focus on research with people who don't abuse easily.
