Pros

What I learned in my short time with CP. Scoundrels are still around and this place is full of them. That's a pro because I will be on full alert on my next job hunt.

Cons

No leadership. No direction. Hard work and experience mean nothing when you won't play the game of kiss up. Outdated equipment. Technology far behind the curve. Very few people work at CP who have more than a few years. Longer term employees were either fired, chased away, or saw the light and left. Stay far away from this horrid company. Unless you want to be part of a scam. CEO never talks with the staff. Word is he is running a ponzi scheme. It's a 3 ring circus when the investors show up. Dog and pony show or 3 Stooges show.

We’re sorry to hear that you had a negative experience with CP. It's by no means rewarding to see an employee leave our company with anything less than a professionally rewarding experience. However, we can assure you that we have a focused direction guided by our strong leadership team and we look forward to demonstrating that in 2016!

Pros

I have been working for Compound Photonics for a little over 2 years. I feel the negative reviews on this site do not accurately reflect the culture or atmosphere that exists here. This is a great Company, and while it has it's short comings, I don't know of a single company that doesn't have any short comings. The Management team, especially my reporting manager have been extremely supportive and I feel they care about me as an individual, they understand the work life balance and are flexible which has really helped me and my family with recent life events. The Company I feel is committed to providing the tools necessary to the success of the company. I see this everyday as we are constantly helping different teams get the resources they need to accomplish tasks at hand across all our locations. If you come to work for us, be sure to come down and say hello to IT we enjoy getting to know the new faces at Compound Photonics and knowing what we can do to help.

Cons

This is a startup atmosphere, plans change and often very quickly. Sometime change comes before the communication, but if you like a fast pace and ever changing environment, then that wont be much of a con. It can be exciting and challenging.
