Pros

- Being a part of a team who's mission is to provide sustainable energy & water treatment solutions. - Fun office environment. Young and energetic staff of scientists and engineers who are highly supportive. - Wearing multiple hats allows for cross-functional career growth. - VPs leading teams are experienced and good to work with

Cons

- Executive management at Cambrian Innovation is inexperienced, demanding, and lacking leadership experience and qualities. - Unrealistic corporate objectives result in diminished annual bonuses and compensation adjustments. - Organization does not promote from within. - "Thousand yard stare" syndrome is prevalent here. Many passionate professionals have joined only to become subdued to apathy due to the constant stress of unrealistic expectations and missed goals, targets, and/or deadlines. - Work/Life balance is very difficult to achieve. - Employees treated as though working for Cambrian is a privilege when it is, most often, a heavy, taxing burden.

Pros

Cool technology, good mission, smart people.

Cons

CEO has left a wake of miserable people behind him. If you are excited by the opportunity and don't want to believe this, just look up some of the many people who have left this company and ask if he is a good leader.

Pros

There are (were) a lot of smart, dedicated people. Challenging and rewarding work.

Cons

Unnecessary negativity and criticism from the highest level. high turnover. Glass always half empty. Unequal accountability. People who don't do a lot are applauded, while others who contribute much more are often unfairly criticized. Some teams are over-worked and under staffed, while other teams don't appear to accomplish a lot. Shifting priorities dictated by exec management. Senior mgmt inexperienced.
