The people
|
The people at Search Optics are what make the company. It's easy and enjoyable to show up to work most days because the people on my team make it fun and satisfying work.
My pay is competitive and some of the flexibility-style benefits are nice (WFH, flexible PTO, etc.)

Toxic management

Company has been through a lot, but always had positive and helpful management throughout.
|
While it was pretty chaotic when I joined in the beginning of 2019 with new employees and management mostly, I learned a lot and always felt comfortable asking management for help when necessary.
|
Good Management/co-workers, learned a lot
|
Small company means growth opportunities are lacking

Strange Company Priorities
|
Company is overloaded at the executive level, and will do things like buy a foosball table shortly before laying off a large chunk of staff. Advancement and job security are pipe dreams. There was an surprising exodus of talented staff during my time there. A few times paychecks weren't sent out on time. Environment allowed for lots of off-color jokes by employees at the expense of various demographics, showing it's a backward-thinking work environment masquerading as cutting edge.
Compensation leaves a lot to be desired, perks and benefits gradually deteriorated as the time went on. When the company decided to "tighten its belt" it would be at the expense of employee happiness and well being, meanwhile lavish spending by executives was extremely evident.

Nice place to work, Hard to advance and develop.
|
Lots of great people and a relatively laid back atmosphere. As long as you get your work done at a high level, people will generally leave you alone. Great place to be a worker bee.

Toxic, avoid
|
High turnover, cave-like environment, unhappy people, roaches (not kidding, actual huge roaches in the building), far less pay than the local average. This place is garbage. See for yourself if you must, but I advise against working here.
|
I honestly cant think of one. Ummm... free parking?
|
Management had no idea what they were doing when I worked there.
