Good Springboard, felt like I worked for a call center.
Pros
-Abundance of PTO -Half Day Fridays -Good springboard to gain experience while searching for more fulfilling work elsewhere.
Cons
-Poor management. There would be training opportunities for new engineers and management would only interact when something was wrong with your work. -There’s an air of a laid back atmosphere but people are extremely touchy and will talk behind others backs or report to HR at the drop of a hat. -Not competitive salary at all, entry level design engineers come in making 55k with an engineering degree. -People are forced to be billable even when there is no billable work to be done. I spent more time figuring out where I was going to allocate my time so management wouldn’t “get me” than doing actual work. -On the job training consisted of taking a report template and copy and pasting information gathered from field engineers rather than actually understanding various engineering aspects. Engineers treated as data entry fodder rather than engineers. -Benefits were rather poor
