Pros
The talented employees are the greatest asset of this company. One of the smartest scientist and engineers in Silicon Valley and the world. The new VP of HR is a world class professional and trying his best to address all the legacy ills of Picarro, one at a time.
Cons
Absent CEO (Alex Balkanski). Has a very condescending attitude and often engages in public dressing-down of reportees and employees. Has a serious lack of leadership and avoids tackling issues head-on. Prefers a backstabbing approach with those who disagree with him. Compensation-wise, execs are over-compensated while the rest of the employees are under-compensated. Execs are a group of vultures trying to swoop on each other whenever they have a chance. Unusually high turn around of key employees in various departments.
