Premier Nutrition Corporation
- Manufacturing & Production
- Emeryville, CA, US
What employees are saying
I've experienced much more "care" from management than I have at past companies. My supervisor appears to be genuinely interested in my success and advancement, and upper management seems approachable and competant. The unique bonus structure and annual trip incentive are a nice addition, and I feel like I've connected with my co-workers more than I have at past companies due to all of the opportunities for team building and offsites.

It is unique and refreshing to have a leadership team all the way up to the CEO ready to jump in and help close deals and handle issues with current clients.

Degenkolb Engineers
- Engineering
- San Francisco, CA, US
What employees are saying
Our corporate structure of employee ownership is fairly unique among engineering firms, especially the ability for all employees to buy and own stock. I think the emphasis on maintaining a healthy distribution of ownership is an example of how management does a great job of thinking about the long-term health of the company and best interests of its employees. Time-and-a-half overtime for Designers is also an amazing feature which goes a long way towards feeling valued. I believe it also works as a very effective check against the industry-wide norm of overworking entry-level engineers.

The company has truly caring and transparent leadership. Even in the toughest moments, they strive to include everyone and leave nobody in the dark. They're clear what the expectations are and how the company is doing. There are good benefits, and the company does this because they care about the employees. They set the time off policies, for example, in a way that they feel maximizes the amount of time people take off and balances the needs of the business with the need of folks to sometimes just take a mental health day. And there is a strong emphasis on reminding you to turn off your notifications and actually go offline when you do take time off.
