Pros

Generally, good people to work with and interesting and challenging projects to work on with customers from all over the world. Interesting small company with some good potential.

Cons

Simply stated, the owner/President is a meglomaniac. Very quick to find fault with everyone but himself. He has never made a mistake yet. Observed him telling one of his managers to make no further comments in meetings... If you enjoy working in a "gulag" type of environment, this is the place for you!

Pros

Fast pace and every day is a new and interesting. Lots of potential to grow within the niche industry. The company is growing at least in the short term. Feels a lot like a family rather than a business if you move in the right circles within the company, but beware as favoritism abounds.

Cons

Management is hindered by the owner Robert James. He has no business expertise except what he has learned on the job and with an engineering background that is very little. Like most owner/presidents he is very emotionally driven and belittles all those around him as he thinks he knows best, even when he does not, as he can never be wrong. Micro management is at the heart of this company and as long as you do what he thinks is best. You will forever be second guessing yourself around him. Get ready to work long overtime hours and weekends with little time off. I would pass this company up as it looks good from afar, but once you get there you will not be so happy.

Pros

Mission to empower employees to better their lives. The management team has a unified front with solid goals. I have been with the company for several years and have seen improvement in the management of personnel which has improved morale and culture. The development of a standard product offering, opposed to highly engineered and custom built product, has allowed Hycomp to level out some rough edges associated with the manufacturing and operational processes.

Cons

Starting pay is somewhat low as it relates to roles and responsibilities. Drastic changes in the engineering and documentation process (due to role-out of standard product) have created a bottleneck for new projects but I suspect this will improve over time. Management can be unfair when corrective action is required from an individual or department.
