Coop workterm: opiniones de empleados con el puesto de Firmware Engineer Coop en Point Grey Research

- Culture and values was great, the vision and mission was clear and everybody really worked as one, as if it's your second family - Overall most people were great and friendly and made the overall work experience good - The benefits were definitely one of the better things about this company, from birthday gift, to free lunch, technology allowance, etc - Social events were overall nice and a great way to connect the whole company - Everybody took pride in what they do, and that really resonated throughout the whole company

- Nothing personal but there may be some managers who aren't really suitable to be in a managerial position - Schedules were ridiculous, sometimes even unrealistic - The workload/schedule/demand was foreseeable yet management was very slow to react i.e. hire more resources - While the benefits were great, depending on position, pay could be considered "low", but most likely because of the unique benefits so it's understandable perhaps - Towards the end of the company's "life", felt like no work/life balance anymore

The company is private hold, stable cash flow, and the entire industry still fast growing. These lead to the good point, stable. A stable company brings: secure feeling, friendly relationship between employees, balance-life style....

Product segmentation, the company provide a long list of sensors models. it is true machine vision camera industry need the diversity of the sensors, yet this make the development and maintenance difficult especially consider the scale of the company. Which lead to constant delay of new product introduction.
