BPM Microsystems Reviews

The owner is out of touch with reality and typically is the smartest person in the room, no matter what the subject matter. While he is a brilliant engineer, he seems to believe he is also an expert at everything else. He lives in California, and except for occasional visits, is not available or approachable, and uses remote video conferencing to communicate with the management team. BPM Microsystems is a small company that is run like it is a big corporation; the company has poor morale because of it. There have been two rounds of layoffs in less than six months and a significant number of key employees have left the company for other opportunities. Annual reviews and salary adjustments were few or not at all for years. The "generous profit sharing program" made no payments for years. All the statements in this paragraph are truthful and objective, and are not the product of a "sore loser".

THE REVOLVING DOOR. The Senior Leadership Team has incurred over 100% turnover in the past 12 months. The CEO is an expert at excuse making. When he creates a problem within the company, his immediate resolution is to blame one of the SLT members and then fire them. So far, we have seen 4 CFO’s come and go; three sales leaders get fired; two senior engineers depart; two Device Support leaders gone; we are on our second marketing manager; on our second HR director; and our second product manager. It is only a matter of time until they are gone as well. It is a revolving door and after all this turnover, we are precisely where we started – on the verge of going out of business. The only senior executive that has not been fired is the CEO. Perhaps a look in the mirror would make it clear who should be the next to hit the road.
