Pros
- Compelling mission and recognition when it comes advanced manufacturing and flexible hybrid electronics. - Opportunities to engage with industry, academia, and government partners on impactful projects. - Its the type of place to gain quick experience in the short term if you're starting out.
Cons
- Toxic culture in the Finance Department: The Finance team fosters a high-stress, blame-oriented environment characterized by poor communication, favoritism, and a lack of professionalism. Constructive dialogue is often met with defensiveness or outright hostility, making collaboration extremely difficult. - Lack of HR accountability: Despite ongoing complaints and visible dysfunction, HR consistently failed to take meaningful action. Concerns brought to their attention were minimized or ignored, which sent a clear message that toxic behavior—especially from senior staff—would be tolerated. - Disempowered employees: Many staff members felt unsupported, undervalued, and at risk of retaliation for speaking up. This led to a culture of silence where morale steadily declined and turnover became a recurring issue. - Unclear processes and expectations: Workflows often lacked documentation or consistency, creating avoidable stress and inefficiencies.
