Pros

There are kind and intelligent employees that are very easy going. There are snacks.

Cons

I'm not sure if the company has the employee's best interests in mind. They don't have remorse over cutting any of their without warning employees. They don't give people a chance to correct or improve their behavior/performance. I understand Nevada is an At-Will employment state, but have a heart and understand that people's livelihoods are at stake. This place seems to care more about your time than your output. There is a strong sense of favoritism going around as rules can be bent for select individuals. There is a culture of fear and compliance. You know there's a problem when the employees are always on edge and afraid that their job is on the line. There is no room for change or improvements based on employee feedback. The leadership can easily disregard it and go along with whatever they want. They can fire you for saying something inappropriate and easily turn around and do the same thing behind your back. All these problems are branched from one source, which is the individual who runs the US branch. There are lower-level managers who are great and doing their best, but they are also subject to the rule of the same individual. It's all about control and power.

Pros

I’m a current employee at CIMON, and it’s been a really positive experience. The company is doing great things in industrial automation, with top-notch PLC, HMI, and SCADA products. The work environment is supportive, and there are plenty of opportunities for growth and development. Management genuinely cares about employees, which makes it a great place to work.

Cons

Communication between departments could be improved; sometimes it feels like information gets lost in the shuffle.

Pros

- High potential for growth within the company and your career, based on your performance and initiative. - Reasonable salary relative to expectations and experience level. - Friendly and capable coworkers. - Healthy and open communication within the same level; if you have a question or need help, people are quick to respond. - Low pressure; when minor issues arise, your job security doesn't come into question. - Good work-life balance; developers get flex schedules. Overtime is very rare for most departments and is compensated. - Solid benefits and decent PTO. - Mini-benefits like snacks, company dinners, company outings, etc. - Everyone has a voice in the direction of the product and the company.

Cons

- Lack of direction at the corporate level; decisions are made based on short-term benefits rather than long-term strategy. - When customers make requests, it often results in ongoing objectives (including those you've already worked on) being delayed or cancelled. - Managers receive very little training. - Company-level communication is poor; it can be unnecessarily difficult to get answers to basic questions, and it's not always clear who is in charge of which responsibilities. - Lack of planning and organization for day-to-day work; teams mostly work on what they think is important in the moment. Long-term goals have low priority. - Lack of authority for product/feature decisions; because everyone has a voice, the loudest voice often wins.
