Do you like being micro-managed? - Engineer X-Microwave Employee Review

Great people, really cool technology

Nature of work necessitates being in office

Excellent/ innovative product Great coworkers The company just started giving their employees a paid holiday on labor day this year in 2021.

Condescending "What type of a millenial are you" questions during the interview. Hyper-focused and micromanaging management was so tight-gripped and controlling that I was never able to actually do the job that I was hired for. Was not allowed to send an email without approval first from management. Management encourages questions to be asked to make sure that the job is done perfectly, especially because of high profile customers, then chastises employees and accuses them of constantly seeking attention and needing validation. Brings up needing to go to the doctor as a negative in reviews. Management expresses the opinion that they must not be working you enough if you talk about anything but work for more than a one-minute length of time. Never provided contact information for human resources. No HR department on site. Terrible healthcare insurance plans, no vision plans. Team building is not encouraged. Cold tense environment. Regular breaks are not encouraged. Interviews, reprimands, and firing of employees are done in the open breakroom/lounge as people walk by. This company was acquired just last month by an acquisition company that was founded within the last 10 months itself. Perhaps this last point isn't a negative against the company so much as an applicant beware.
