Unethical upper management. Employees are not compensated fairly for their hard work - Anonymous employee Extrel Core Mass Spectrometers Employee Review

Extrel is unique in that everyone there wants you to succeed. Many of the employees have been there for several years which fosters this, "when you're here, you're family" vibe. Extrel does a lot to bring the staff together. There is a meal, dessert or corporate social event 2-3 times a month.

Physically, there are not a lot of windows. But, the location is great for a lunchtime walk.

Some nice people in a bad situation. Interesting technology.

The words "toxic" and "dysfunctional" only scratch the surface here. While there are many nice competent people who work at Extrel, management thrives on overbearing control, distrust, and obsessive compulsive behavior. They read employees emails, eaves drop on conversations, and monitor comings and goings to the point of sick obsession. There is no sense of professionalism, and HR people who have integrity leave quickly. There is clear favoritism, some nepotism, and an acceptance of bad behavior due to tenure. There is inconsistency in the implementation of policies often baed on personal relationships/friendships, and management takes employees' hotel rewards points from the three major trade shows for their personal use--taking their families on vacation. Toxic. Dysfunctional. Just beware.
