Pros

Good stepping stone for your career.

Cons

Management breeds a culture of mistrust and gossip and also micromanages too much. Management put everyone and their families at risk by making us work in the office without following any CDC guidance during the peak of COVID-19. They have an incredibly small HR department which does almost nothing for employees. They have very unfriendly policies and benefits for employees, which they frequently change on a whim and to target specific employees. They cannot be trusted to handle HR complaints confidentially - the entire company will know within a weak about any complaints that were made. You will also be expected to work overtime frequently and with no additional pay.

Hello, I'm sorry to hear of these concerns, however I would appreciate if you could confirm this feedback is meant for Electric Power Engineers, INC headquartered in Austin, Tx since a few items you mentioned in detail do not align with EPE's actions and culture. EPE sent all employees to work from home immediately at the onset of COVID, and has continued to allow and encourage working from home since. We still to this day do not require attendance in the office and have set up all employees for success in a work from home environment. Our health insurance including medical, dental, vision, AD&D, STD and LTD plans have not changed since 2018. Our benefits package continues to be a generous plan that is 100% employer paid for all full time employees. Additionally our 401K plan has remained the same for two years with company matching and immediate 100% vesting. Earlier this year we gathered feedback from our employees, reviewed historical use of time off, and made positive changes to our PTO plan and added an additional paid holiday to provide a generous amount of time off. We also provide a continuing education budget for every full time employee to help them reach their professional goals. We continuously review our benefits and compensation packages to ensure we are providing the best to our employees. As far as the concerns shared regarding gossip, culture, and HR complaints; unfortunately without more information I am unable to address them. I can confirm that we do have a small HR department, however we do host monthly virtual happy hours, quarterly events (when safe for gatherings), quarterly global townhall meetings, and celebrate sporadic holidays, birthdays, and fun moments in the office in addition to providing a positive work environment with coffee, snacks, and a friendly and communal atmosphere. Our company has an open door policy and encourages employees to share concerns with HR or their direct supervisor or leader they feel comfortable approaching. Any concerns that are shared are treated with the utmost respect and confidentiality. If you had a negative experience while working at EPE I would like to sincerely apologize. I am unsure if this review was truly meant for EPE, however we wish you the best in your future endeavors and hope you find a company and career you enjoy.
