excellent place to work, great management style
Technician 2 (Former Employee), Boulder, CO – April 9, 2013
Pros: early start time(7:00am), casual dress requirements
Cons: very complex equipment
I worked on complex electronic equipment, while keeping an eye towards verifying work instructions. The people there were nice and easy to work with, as well as helpful towards learning the equipment. The manager was thoughtful and very helpful to me while being understanding of time that I needed away from work.

Executive Assistant to EVP Operations (Former Employee), San Jose, CA – March 11, 2013
Pros: usually had lunch from different meetings on a daily basics.
Cons: sometimes took breaks at desk.. not usually healthy
Enjoyed working at Symmetricom. Started as an assistant to accounting. Worked my way up the ladder to Executive Admin to our EVP of Operations. It was a long road of on the job experience. I enjoyed working with the different departments of the company and has made some great friendships along the way. Management gave me the respect to work on my own – more... with little supervision. – less

Working day was hectic from the time I arrived to the time I left.
Stockroom/ Production Lead (Former Employee), Boulder, CO – January 25, 2013
Pros: very good ojt
Cons: the right hand didn't know what the left hand was doing
I had a lot of opportunities to learn about managing people and staff. Most of the workers were real nice and willing to help with issues that always arouse. I had to put in many hours straightening out errors in processes to correct inventory. The management at Symmetricom Boulder was a bit to be desired, they didn't seem to make plans with contingencies

Symmetricom as a company has tremendous potential and it needs to define itself whether they want to make continuous improvement and commit themselves
Six Sigma Balck Belt (Former Employee), Beverly, MA – September 26, 2012
Working at Symmetricom was very frustating for a Six Sigma Black belt. The program was not fully supported by senior management in spirit, with the result that employees would bypass the DMAIC methodology and improve processes by stealing ideaas from the project in progress.

I enjoyed the hi-tech product and my association with it. My immediate supervisor – more... was not a good manager who felt intimidated if others praised my work and support was not there when I needed roadblocks removed. – less

Great company, Great people
Quality Engineer - ISO9001 Registered (Former Employee), Santa Rosa, CA – May 8, 2012
Pros: great people
Typical day at work would involve many different Quality aspects as my responsibility was full spectrum; NPI through Field Failures. The most common activity overall though was accessing our Quality issues Dbase, our PDM (SmarTeam) and Oracle/Agile.

Hardest part of the job was bandwidth challenges and so many different things to get done.

I learned – more... many things about UTC, oscillators, and other electronic comm. technology. – less
