Management does not care

Pros

The location is nice for most of the year.

Cons

The management really does not care for the employees at all. They are struggling to receive contracts which has made for an even more chaotic work environment. Mandatory overtime is generally always a thing and the salaries are a complete joke for a engineering firm.

Thanks for taking the time to provide this feedback, and I’m sorry that you had a negative experience working for our ENSCO Avionics subsidiary. The subsidiary did have some challenges with sales last year, and I presume this affected the work environment and your personal experience. This year, the Avionics sales pipeline has significantly improved, and this should positively affect the work environment. ENSCO as a whole has always had a very good retention rate and high employee satisfaction (both are well above the industry average based on outside independent surveys). We have many employees who have been with the company for long time. In just the last two months, we celebrated three employees who have been with the company for 35, 40 and 45 years! We offer good benefits, rewarding work, and growth opportunities. We benchmark our salaries against companies of similar size in our industry, and our compensation is competitive. That said, even one dissatisfied employee is one too many. We’re working to improve in the areas you mention. We are working to strengthen our management practices and have just recently implemented management and new supervisor training to ensure that our employees in management roles have the tools and best practices to perform to their full potential. When we see gaps in performance, we identify them and work to mentor individuals who have room for improvement. I wish you the best in your career moving forward. If you would like to discuss this further, or if I can be of assistance to you, please contact me directly.

Pros

The Springfield office culture was excellent. Nice people who are good at their jobs. Employees generally care about their work and are technically successful. Family friendly workplace. Pay and benefits are decent.

Cons

Recent high level management changes have been a bad experience. NSS has had 2 new division VPs in the past few years, each a downgrade on the previous leader. Current leadership lacks understanding of the business and has run off many of the best project managers and top technical performers. Each group is expected to do it's own business development with minimal support at a division level. All of NSS shares one business developer, leading to many missed opportunities. BD resources are focused on not losing existing work in stagnant areas instead of growing the business. Office culture is changing for the worse. Much of the new work is offsite so the main campus is a ghost town. Senior people are leaving rapidly. Senior corporate management is well meaning but indecisive.

Pros

Okay work life balance, average benefits, work can be interesting with right contact but those opportunities can be hard to come by.

Cons

Management is not transparent, most policies are 20 years old and little information is given on how to advance, when new management spots were opened there was no competition they were handed out to favorites. Low pay due to aggressive bidding on contacts, people have been asked to donate hours in the past because contacts were underbid to win.
