Just a bit of information for you on the way they do business. PocketScience, Inc. asked me to find a Sr. Level Hardware Engineer for them. I did so and they hired him. This candidate had 3 offers on the table and decided to take PocketScience because of their "promising future". He was with the company for 3 weeks and they had a "reduction of management force". PocketScience let go of most of their contractors and several management and senior level engineers. PocketScience has refused to pay the search fee to me and my firm for this Hardware engineer even though we performed 100% of the job we were asked to do. I think many things need to be looked at when the right hand of a company does not know what they left hand is doing. It is said that PocketScience does not have a money problem by some and by others it has been said they needed to improve their bottom line for their investors. No matter the reason, any company doing business like this is doomed for failure. Take it for what it's worth!
