Fallbrook Technologies Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"I worked for Fallbrook Technologies as a Product development intern in between semesters. The application and interview process was seamless, and everyone involved in the process was very kind and professional. I had the opportunity to work on multiple projects, so I gained a variety of knowledge and skills while working there. Every employee was courteous, professional, and very knowledgeable in their area. Overall, I would recommend this company if your are looking for an internship opportunity."

"I worked at Fallbrook for 3 years. The work is challenging, complex (international, multi-industry, huge variety in customers), but personally rewarding. It's rare to find such a keen team. The company is a lean small business. It's not a startup where you have 'get in on the ground level' career advancement opportunities, and given the relative excellent employees, it's competitive to achieve relative promotions. Management has created a licensing business that attempts to do everything (international fundraising, marketing and sales, law, operations, research, development, M&A). It's a bit crazy but cool and impressive, and exciting to be a part of. Total compensation is above average. Flexible hours and schedules. No matching 401K."

"Work time flexibility is good, while hours can be long. The work itself, from an engineering POV, is interesting and enjoyable. Vacation and sick days are fairly generous. Pay is mediocre. Morale is very low for a variety of reasons, primarily management.There is a huge trust gap between staff and upper management, while most middle managers lie somewhere between cluelessly ineffective and dismissively arrogant. Another reviewer mentioned cheesy HR. This and more corp-speak laden memos and meetings are their only answer to an increasingly disaffected staff. I wouldn't recommend working here."

What do you like about working at Fallbrook Technologies?

"No micromanagement, but this seems to be largely a function of who you happen to work for.For the most part, everyone is talented and self-motivated. There is no lack of skill in the staff."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Be enthusiastic about the technology and its applications."

What don't you like about working at Fallbrook Technologies?

"Profound lack of focus.Middle managers were brought up from within and 'don't know what they don't know'.HR 'cheesiness'."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Get back to that 'technology engineering' climate. Growth of the business and the structuring the company doesn't have to move to a 'corporate' culture. Morale has taken a marked downward turn in the last year and a half. You aren't doing it right."
