Friendly Place to Work - Sales Engineer Intern Embedded Planet Employee Review

The team is forward-thinking, works together pretty well as a whole, has a good work-life balance, and can be dynamic. Lots of exciting projects going on that offer opportunities for creativity and design. The team is very enthusiastic about their work and the positive workplace environment reflects that. There's some good talent here and a genuine interest in adopting new technologies.

Just be thankful, they are kind of paying for you to learn new skills * My mental and physical health suffered greatly. Multiple co-workers were beginning to develop endocrine disorders; due to stress in my opinion. * Management probably will not read any more than the 2nd sentence of your emails * Bully based management * Sitting through hours of 80's style Always Be Closing sales pitches. I don't recall a single one ever being successful.
