Pros

Really like the small office culture in Portland Manager cares

Cons

Too much politics Employees do not feel heard - upper management do not care and listen about what employees need and want. They pretend they listen, but not do anything about it. They take advantage of new graduates -pay and benefits are low They care about the sales people more than the engineers. High Turnover

Pros

Very chill workplace. Have the occasional rushed project but typically project timelines are very loose and you never feel like you're getting worked to the bone. I always have time to take a breather and talk with my coworkers before getting back into things. Lots of community events. Everyone loves working here from my experience, and most people are more than willing to help you need it. They love to keep people within the same company so there is room for lateral or upward movement in roles. My boss in particular is very understanding of taking off work for various reasons (appointments, home maintenance, etc.). Upper management is down to earth and makes sure to stop in and spend time in the building. Cubes are very spacious.

Cons

Lack of standards in communication as well as lack of training on products and drawing standards. Often get projects with not enough information to start drawing -- wish there were standards for submitting projects to CAD.

Pros

Competitive pay, some autonomy in my role.

Cons

During my tenure, the company ownership was a revolving door of holding companies. There seemed to be a different management team every two years, so regardless of what management said, the rank and file simply continued to do whatever they wanted because they knew the "new" team would be gone before they ever figured out that they were being ignored. Also, as is often the case with large organizations, upper management made decisions from "on high" that seemed pretty comical (or frustrating, depending on the day) to the folks who had to implement them on the grassroots level. It seemed that the mid to upper managers were very good at preening and posturing, but hopelessly inept at anything other than justifying their existence with endless busywork.
