      Great company!

      Pros

      The management from the top down does an excellent job of balancing the needs of the company and the employees. The vision and leadership instills confidence that the company will remain a leader in the industry and provide opportunities for the employees. The work/lifestyle balance approach of the company is great for my family. The caliber of individuals in the company both professionally and in personality creates the most enjoyable work environment I have ever had, with an abundance of professional support. The work is interesting and stimulating, and working out of my home-office is superb for my productivity and family life balance. Best job I've ever had, working with and for the best people. I attribute the main success of the company to the high moral fiber of the individuals starting at the top and working down the leadership, and extending to all of the employees.

      Cons

      My biggest challenge is in turning off work. I enjoy what I do and can find it easy to distract myself from other important responsibilities. It is neither required nor expected of me to work too much. I simply get involved in projects and have to make sure I set them down when I should.

      Extremely High Turnover - Weak Leadership

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Health benefits Company vehicle - minivan Opportunity to develop relationships with other engineers outside of your discipline Opportunity to travel - although its a requirement.

      Cons

      No accountability measures for senior leadership Very much a dictatorship environment - comply or die mentality Extremely high turnover (almost entirely non-management) - new engineers come and go Poor reputation amongst other engineering peers throughout the industry Requirements to travel outside your home state because of being short staffed (high turnover) Donan requires everyone to sign an employment agreement for specified time and mileage restrictions if you leave
