      Great ideas, talented employees, no clear structure

      Pros

      Employees are highly intelligent, capable and creative. There are some great things coming out of this division of Wasatch Photonics, Inc (Utah). Management is hands-off. Very casual office. Everyone works well together. 4 yr old start-up, lots of growth potential. 3 weeks vacation, can be flexible and work at home occasionally if you are able..

      Cons

      Management needs to take charge/initiative and really lead the team. No one likes to go to meetings, I know, but there should at least be a monthly meeting where the whole team can hear what is currently being worked on and what is in the pipeline. No clear idea of what values or actual company goals are. Management in Durham may not be on same page as Management in Utah.

      Great company but unrealistic expectations

      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Most people want to do a good job. The technology is exciting. There is a lot of potential.Some of the more senior staff have a lot to offer and are extremely smart.

      Cons

      The CEO is a workaholic that only seems to favor people like him. He clearly has his favorites and you have to be part of the ‘in’ crowd to succeed. Expectations are unbelievable and it is impossible to succeed. There is no engineering management or real process: quality suffers. Anyone who tries to point out the issues is labeled as a troublemaker. Sometimes bad remarks are made about people who aren’t in the room and everyone is expected to laugh.

      Good technology, horrendous management

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Wasatch Photonics figured out how to make a transmission grating with good specifications. The technology is essentially obsolete but they might be able to carve out a miniscule niche with non-informed customers.

      Cons

      Top management have failed miserably at previous companies, and they are keeping their track record alive at Wasatch Photonics. Like most floundering technology companies they are hoping for a buy out, can it come before the bottom falls out?
