Avoid working with the Company

Pros

Fast growing company with potential.

Cons

Where to start? The negative reviews on here are totally justified. The increase in positive reviews is due to staff being asked to post positive ones. This is in an effort to raise their Glassdoor score that got extremely low due to honest feedback from previous employees. Foundation is extremely aggressive in its approach – to both staff and customers, despite claiming to be a big happy family. No doubt that this review will create excuses from the company who still has yet to realise it cannot treat their people in such an awful way. My best advice would be to stay away from this company, don't buy into their propaganda.

Dont work here

Pros

You dont have to actually work. You can workout during the day. Nice people.

Cons

There is no career development whatsoever. Management is completely out of touch with what is really going on and everyone keeps quitting!. They play favorites and are very unethical. If you are a woman, expect to be treated less than and to be paid less than, time, tenure or how hard you work wont matter either. As other reviews have said, the owner does have a great heart but allows his incompetent family to "run" things. The president is a total tyrant and wont listen to anyone other than himself, so the business is really taking a hit. It is also true that the president walks around daily to check if people are at their desks!! They dont allow any work from home or any flexibility because they do not trust their employees. Bottom Line. Overall, very sad place. Don't be fooled by the worth less "perks". Dont work here.

Not Bad If It's Your Only Option

Pros

People are generally nice. Salary and benefits are OK (that said, do not expect raises if you get promoted; you'll just get the additional work without the additional pay). Hours are reasonable. Casual dress. Profitable and growing business.

Cons

Foundation prides itself as a dynamic company that has a minimum of red tape. That was largely true when I started there (years ago), but it is not accurate anymore. Maybe it's inevitable as a company grows larger, but Foundation is now much more about rules and regulations, and less about producing quality products. There are definitely sacred cows at Foundation. Many of the other reviews here mention nepotism; it is 100% true. Favored longtime employees can get away with repeated misbehaviors and incompetence. Others will be disciplined for far less. If you're not one of the chosen, then you'll have to accept that favoritism as reality. Foundation has recently experienced significant turnover among higher-level positions, especially in R&D. All key decisions are made by the same small, insular group of people with 20+ years at the company. Management does not seem particularly interested in other opinions. It helps explain why so many of the people they hire from the outside (as opposed to family members/friends of employees) soon find someplace else to work. Those with other options move on; those who are stuck, stay.
