Obtuse Management - Engineer G-TEKT Employee Review

fun people to work with

no pay for interns to get there

Excellent Health Benefits, that's all.

Extremely strict environment with many rules similar to a plant setting even though this is an R&D only office. Salary employees are expected to clock-in & out, you have a point system for attendance (which if you are 1 minute late you lose a point without forgiveness), you are not allowed to eat or drink anything but water at your desk, no music, and you are micromanaged 24/7 by upper management. Since the environment is so strict, it is hard for new employees to come into this and adapt - almost like you freedom is taken away and you are back under your parents supervision. You only get a 30 min lunch as well which forces you to pack every day and eat with your coworkers. They also limit the hours of vacation you can take at a time. For example, you have to take vacation in 2,4, or 8 hours but you can only take 2 hr vacations 4x a year. WIth all the rules, it's exhausting and makes for a tense work place.
