Overworked, understaffed, underpaid

Controls engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Nothing really comes to mind unless you enjoy being abused. They used to allow us to work remotely unless needed on site but no longer.

Cons

Unsustainable work loads, understaffing, gaslighting, you name it. When I first started a lot of our projects really did bring value to our customers but now the only projects that are being done is fluff for manager promotions. Hard work is not rewarded, only flashing documentation that makes it look like you work hard.
