Circling the drain - Software Engineer Gradient Technologies (MA) Employee Review

Transformative technology that has promise to improve security and ease of use for nearly every digital system you can think of.

Fast pace and big ambitions mean there are some long days, not for everyone.

Great technology space, especially with the advent of quantum computing.

Dishonest management. Nothing in writing (after a year of employment, I was denied any shares because management never set up accounts for the options offered although I asked several times during my employment for some indication the shares were managed). After working a year, I was told that I didn't qualify for the shares because I took PTO and they considered that not working. Because of the lack of an account or any other documentation about the options, my lawyer said that it would become a big court battle and recommended I walk away. After a year of service, I would expect honesty and an offer of shares. This is the way I'd been treated by other companies, but Gradient management is less than enlightened.
