Pros

Pay is good. But that is the only thing that is remotely good.

Cons

I joined the new Power and Energy Dept. on July 19, 2023 to work remote. I received a "PIP" Performance Improvement Plan In April 2024. They explained my "billability" was too low. I was sitting at home for weeks at a time begging my supervisor that I no work assignments and my "billability" slipped below 50%. Any assignment I did receive involved extensive multiple travel to the jobsite or the project never materialized. So why am I to blame for not having enough work? The corporate guerillas set me up for failure. Fortunate for me I knew they were going to boot me out so I already had a job lined up before my firing date. 14 engineers have left this company in the last couople of months. Avoid this company. They had no intention wanting me to proceed. IF you do not comply with the corporate guerillas, then you will be cast out.
