Pros

engineers have great attitude and easy to work with

Cons

Any new idea is "not how we do it here", One principal would openly say derogatory statements about engineers and other principals when the specific employees were not in room HR/management unhelpful and would say "give it a couple weeks" when highlighting concerns with unprofessional behavior During interview management will commit to something, and then change requirements within first week of starting. --Examples of what has been done to employees 1) job no longer in one city but in another and you need to relocate. 2) In interview job has no travel. In first week, job is now 80% travel for next year 3) Your project requires you to drive 1 hr to customer site. We don't think we should reimburse any travel expense for the mileage

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…
