Pros

people... there are many experienced employees in Cinetic that are dedicated and trustworthy of performing to a higher level and take pride in their work as well as supporting others to tackle any issues to get the job done!

Cons

Senior management (especially CEO who is nothing short of a micromanager and won’t respect the management layers result of his own creation) ... new CEO has brought in many of his own people from his previous company and they have fallen flat on their faces. Sales are a disaster (losing market share as well as simple interface with customer), engineering management doesn’t communicate with our own departments and the blaming game is incentivized by the managers themselves. Overall there is no vision with the organization and employees are wondering how long it will take for the company to go under or overtaken by any of the competitors . This has been clearly talked about from all within the organization but it goes on deaf ears. Now to keep somewhat busy there are deals being made with our competitors allowing them to build their equipment on our floor. (BIG RISK)

Pros

Several great experienced employees to learn from if they havent be let go or left. Pay and benifits are typical. Dont expect any bonus or recognition no matter how hard you work.

Cons

Senior management has no vision or direction. Then they lay off the most experienced employees including sales when work is needed. Life expectancy for project managers is very short don't expect to stay long. This is the biggest complain of all their major customers. Don't be surprised if you're forced to work weekends including Sundays. This was a good place to work at until the new management starting reorganizing.
