Pros

* My colleagues are great to work with. * The work is unique with plenty of interesting problems to solve. * The potential for the technology is broad and truely fascinating. It certainly won't be too long before the first products are rolling off the lines. * It's a technologically cutting edge company with big ambitions. How many other companies have their own Fabs?

Cons

I am personally very content with the way things are and I fully accept that it is not easy to get products this complex out of the door in a relatively short space of time. I have great respect for the company in what it has undertaken and applaud the ambition. When it is ever easy to build a company especially when constructing technologically complex products?

Pros

I have been working for Compound Photonics for a little over 2 years. I feel the negative reviews on this site do not accurately reflect the culture or atmosphere that exists here. This is a great Company, and while it has it's short comings, I don't know of a single company that doesn't have any short comings. The Management team, especially my reporting manager have been extremely supportive and I feel they care about me as an individual, they understand the work life balance and are flexible which has really helped me and my family with recent life events. The Company I feel is committed to providing the tools necessary to the success of the company. I see this everyday as we are constantly helping different teams get the resources they need to accomplish tasks at hand across all our locations. If you come to work for us, be sure to come down and say hello to IT we enjoy getting to know the new faces at Compound Photonics and knowing what we can do to help.

Cons

This is a startup atmosphere, plans change and often very quickly. Sometime change comes before the communication, but if you like a fast pace and ever changing environment, then that wont be much of a con. It can be exciting and challenging.
