Pros

Amazing employees make every day worth going. Opportunities for collaboration and growth if you have the right manager and department.

Cons

Lack of trust in HR team due to repeated let-downs when efforts to resolve issues are not successful. Seeking HR is futile as nothing comes from reporting cases of disruptive behavior or inappropriate verbal/physical gestures from other employees. Underwhelming health program and subsequent carelessness from employees, largely due to poor judgment from corporate on when and how to present the information. Overkill on safety and employees are burnt out on procedures that are time consuming so employees complete them as fast as possible and they are ineffective such as pre-visit safety form. Ancient printers and plotters that are kept because they still work, rather than invest in machines that are better/faster because the current ones still work. Why wait until things break to replace them? Let us be more efficient.

Pros

- Colleagues - Lots of work, so lots of experience - Admin staff - Basic benefits like anywhere else - Monthly phone stipend - Company vehicle for traveling to job sites

Cons

- Remote work became less and less tolerated (even if work was being completed) - Pay was stagnant and only received inflation-related raises. To put some context, our hourly fees increased about 10-15% each year for inflation and miscellaneous factors, and our pay only increased 9% total in three years. - Always encouraged to work extra hours to meet deadlines, however, no overtime pay. - Year end bonuses were abysmal for the first two years even after record breaking revenues those years. At a point, there was no incentive to work harder if the year end bonus was only going to be f i v e h u n d r e d dollars compared to the thousands upper management was receiving on top of profit sharing. - Profit sharing: only a select few within company are invited - Management: Some managers took the job way too seriously, micromanaging and feeling them breathe on your neck. It clearly showed how little they knew about managing individuals and only cared about profits and how many hours were used on a project. - Saw more HR hires rather than engineer hires to help balance work loads - Constant pressure on our time sheets and making us move time away from general and into projects…
