Great company to work for!
|
|
- Great work environment
- Team is very smart, determined, and easy to get along with
- Laid back work environment with a lot of scientific/engineering freedoms
- Flexible work schedule
|
- Being a small company, PLT didn't always have access to a lot of expensive equipment but always found a way to make projects work
- Mediocre benefits and no 401(k)...yet

Getting paid is a gamble.
|
|
PLT is doing basic research in an area which needs it - quantum dot chemistry for solid state lighting. The technology may benefit humanity in the form of better and more efficient lighting. That is the only positive about PLT. Likely all patents will be sold off when the company finally folds, and the people who did the real science will see little or nothing for their efforts.
|
Pay for the people who do the actual work is poor compared to industry standard. The company is out of capital and is running on prayers for VC infusions, resulting in poor pay for salaried employees, late pay for contract employees, and crippling layoffs. The best talent has all either left voluntarily, been laid off, or is actively seeking other employment.
Senior management is completely incapable of running an actual business. Management engages in acts which are quite arguably unethical, such as gaming contract employees to see who will accept late pay, and hiring people despite knowing they have no capital - sometimes interviewing people well out of the metro area, who could end up moving to Portland for an insecure job at a highly unstable company.

You do not know how to run a business. It remains to be seen if your flown-in management team does, but signs are not good given the immediate adoption of immature business technology solutions from their cronies.
Shut the company down and sell your patents to someone who can make use of them.
