Pros

Some genuinely good people who try to do the right thing.

Cons

Exyte talks about excellence but does not operate that way. Leadership regularly puts unqualified friends from past companies into key roles, and it shows. Quality is inconsistent, accountability is unclear, and basic operations slip through the cracks. For a 100-year-old company, there is no real marketing function. Everything related to marketing and creative work is outsourced. The company depends on its communications team to project an image that does not match the reality of the work being produced. Internal communication is weak. I have never worked at a company where people were quietly let go and others had to find out through word of mouth. My own manager was not aware I was being laid off until I told him. The company struggles with coordination, planning, and follow through. Employees end up covering gaps caused by unclear direction and poor leadership. I was laid off right before bonuses were paid out. The timing raised obvious concerns about transparency and fairness. There are good people here, but the structure makes it almost impossible for them to succeed. People at the top of the org chart are consistently protected.

Pros

You get to do very interesting work in designing cleanroom spaces (such as semiconductor, pharma, data centers, batteries, etc.) that help make the forefront of modern technology. The industry has a very strong outlook in the USA and globally. "Trial by fire", also a con, but you get thrown right into things, and you get to learn a lot. There is always the opportunity to learn something, and I learn something new every week.

Cons

"Trial by fire". Little to none onboarding material and training. Company standards and workflows are difficult to find to non-existent, and the ones that do exist are seldom used. Managers are really just engineers who have the title manager; they are so overloaded with work (see next point), that there is not any time to do managerial work, like helping employee growth, teaching company standards and workflows, etc. The work load is very high. It has caused burnout in so many people (see next point), both the unrealistic workload, constant deadline/deliverable stress, and borderline beratement from design management to the engineering team at times. They can't really afford to let people go, so there is not going to be any penalty for limiting what you are willing to do workload wise, but it's also not going to advance you anywhere, and would be against the company culture. Burnout and attrition. I think on average, people last about two years. The turnover rate is very high, and there is nothing done to address it. People get overworked, burnout, and leave, so there is less staff to do the work. So people get asked to take on extra work, they get overworked, burnout, and leave. Repeat. Very poor management of change and management of client. Some of these challenges I have described are broad industry issues, some are driven by the clients, but a lot of wounds are self-inflicted. Overlapping deliverables, poor planning, unrealistic schedules, etc. Poor communication. People do not communicate well. Not anything the company can do, but it is a very siloed workflow company culture. Poor company culture. Rumors of harassment at the upper management level and HR complaints, decent turnover at the upper management level to back that claim. A lot of drinking. OK benefits, not great, but not bad.
