Pros

Most of the employees are intelligent, laid-back people, and the environment is relaxed.

Cons

The management is in terrible shape, and probably beyond repair. I left the company about a month ago largely because I feel quite confident that the CEO has attempted to financially defraud myself and my coworkers on several occasions. At best, she lacks sufficient concern for the financial well-being of her employees to be diligent about the contents of legal documents, but I suspect that the consistent pattern of negligence, always beneficial to the same parties, is deliberate. Meanwhile, the rest of the management spends such great effort tiptoeing around the CEO's short temper and tendency for micro-management that it's difficult for them to coordinate effort towards the important issues facing the company. I'm extremely disappointed by the obviously fake reviews on this page, although not surprised. Falsifying a record of employee impressions while seeking to hire is unethical in a pretty concrete way, and likely also a violation of Glassdoor's terms of service. Two new 5-star reviews have appeared on this page in the time since I left the company, during which period I know that no other employees have left. Having spent about a year and a half at Emcien, a rather small company where I had the opportunity to speak privately at some point with every one of my individual coworkers, I'm confident that the reviews seen here are not broadly reflective of the actual opinions of current employees. Since I'm also certain that the two most recent reviews are falsified, it seems very likely that many of the others are as well. In fact, many of the job titles seen here are not even actual job titles used at the company. To the extent that I have the time and that it is necessary, I intend to repost this as often as required so that it will not be buried by further fake reviews.

Pros

Working in Engineering is extremely rewarding. The Engineers are given great autonomy on how to run our projects and manage our work because we have earned the trust of Management. We tackle problems I never thought I would approach in my career, but since we have brilliant, humble, hard working Engineers on staff, we are able to solve these difficult problems. As a technical person, I always have to question if my skills and exposure to relevant, new technologies is keeping pace with technology's progress. I do not want to become technically irrelevant because my company has settled on legacy technology. Emcien is a special place because we are keeping pace with the most innovative technologies, because frankly, we are leading the march in graph analytics and big data computation. Simply, Emcien is a special place for an Engineer or technical person. We collaborate well with Sales/Marketing and Services because everyone in the company is unified.

Cons

Companies come to us to solve some very complex problems. In Engineering we have to balance the cost-benefit of pursuing new challenges that walk through the door. Management does a great job a filtering these prospects so we do not have to needlessly context switch.
