Coworkers great, management not so much

Embedded software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The coworkers were good - everyone made an effort. They were helpful.

Cons

I was the only native English speaker in the group which lead to difficulty with communications. The management needs serious communication help. There is little to no documentation for new hires. The work is often tedious and not coding related. The manager was condescending to myself and multiple other coworkers. Other coworkers complained that manager micromanages the longer you stay.
