Pros

The people there are on the whole quite nice, and the salaries are reasonable

Cons

Firstly, there are no vacation, it has to be acrued with one day a month. I for one have never seen this before. A recent cost saving and a way to gain more from the beleagured employee. Work rate is very high, you want burn out and no value, work here. A lot of politics, and everything has deteriorated. The facilities are pretty dire, every thing is old from the coffee machine to vending machine. No investment in facilities at all. In order to fake value, HR do free HR things such as tell you where the food truck is ! Just a really bad work place. Who don't care about their staff, except some managemnet who are beyond unpleasant.

CalAmp offers it's employees with PTO or Personal Time Off. A new hire will receive 13 days in the first year. Like most companies, PTO time does accrue. For CalAmp new hires, it accrues at 2 hours per week (since we are paid weekly). In your 2nd year of employment - you will accrue 14 days of PTO and in the 3rd year 15 days and this scale continues to grow.

Pros

I am a full time employee and have been working at CalAmp for 1 year. The company has a very progressive and thriving environment. "Work Hard, Play Hard" is how I would describe the culture - a group of talented and passionate people who are doing their best to shake up an industry and produce game-changing products. Exciting times in our vertical with key partnerships and more to come.

Cons

As with any company, there are growing pains as new products are introduced. However, culture seems lively and positive as we obtain this goal.

Pros

I am a full time employee of CalAmp for a little over 6 months. This company has poised itself to grow both culturally and with it's cutting edge Technology. In my employment I have seen Dev-Ops begin to take hold, as well as a company push for employee cultural adjustments that present a great work-life balance.

Cons

Growing pains, as new technology is introduced, there are small adjustments that are eased by the employee culture CalAmp is enveloping.
