Pros

If you’re into playing politics, gaslighting, and working with people who care more about power than outcomes, you’ll thrive here. Otherwise… none.

Cons

Where do I even begin? This company is a masterclass in dysfunction. It’s run by political operators who have zero interest in real talent or outcomes—only in consolidating power. Anyone competent, driven, or ambitious? You’ll be pushed out, blocked from growth, or quietly sidelined because you’re a threat to the insecure people running the show. If you’re not part of the “inner circle,” good luck. Favoritism is blatant. People from certain backgrounds are consistently treated worse, and while it’s not always explicit, it’s absolutely felt. The emotional toll of working in this environment is unreal. Technically, the business is led by generalists who have no business running a highly specialized, technical operation. Wrong people, wrong seats, wrong results. And they wonder why customers are churning and leaving us scathing feedback? It’s a joke. Every 6–12 months, they change metrics like they change socks, wreck teams with unrealistic expectations, then go, “Oops, that didn’t work.” Meanwhile, people are getting fired based on those metrics. Turnover is astronomical. If you need proof, just look at how many people were hired and how fast they left. That should tell you everything.

Pros

Good pay Remote work Dedicated, hardworking peers Truly interesting projects RSU's can actually be liquidated

Cons

Large amounts of travel at the drop of a hat Unrealistic schedules and targets Engineers fleeing the manufacturing sites because of toxic management, which the company refuses to address Forcing manufacturing operators and engineers to do more with less in order to try to save on overhead costs, with no regard to burnout or realism of what people can handle Rotating through temp/contract employees to run complex manufacturing equipment is a recipe for inefficiency Bonuses halved due to company underperforming to it's (unrealistic) goals Management doesn't seem to understand how to develop manufacturing capabilities, or not in a healthy or lasting way If the company isn't profitable by now in a high-margin market like dental, it seems doubtful to be able to be Valuation is suspect, seems like valued as a tech/app company than one that makes a physical product If you're hired, consider yourself a contract employee. The company seems to go through cycles of overhiring to meet busy periods, and then lay them off once the period is over.
