Pros

Company wide, most of the people are great. I adored most of my coworkers in my actual office. Flexible towards personal/family life. Decent pay.

Cons

Where to begin.....first off, accounting and IT in the corporate office are a mess. Training is almost non-existent. Twice, as an admin assistant, I actually trained my new boss. There is an Operations Manual, but it's rarely followed. Instead, each office does whatever they want. Consistency is not encouraged from office to office or region to region. You cannot trust management whatsoever. I was lied to straight to my face many, many times. I was asked to do things that I'm certain should not have been asked of me. I was told things I shouldn't have known. Admin was consistently blamed for the billable employees' inadequacies. Low morale due to micromanaging, dishonesty, unrealistic expectations, etc. The company has lost great employees over the years due to all of the above, and will continue to do so.

We appreciate your viewpoint and regret that you can't recommend our firm. You are correct about one thing. Our people do make Rimkus a great place to work! Admittedly, our IT and Accounting departments have struggled at times to deliver the best internal customer experience, but they are making tremendous strides. Likewise, we may have inadvertently lost valuable employees in the past, but honesty and transparency are the driving principles of our leadership today. We have listened. We are listening. And we are becoming a better company every day!

Pros

They pay bus development managers above average

Cons

I was hired for business development but was set up to fail. I was asked to tell customers we provide full-service engineering in South Florida, even though we didn’t have the staff, no electrical engineer and no Threshold Engineer, needed for the work. Many structural projects in the area require a Threshold Engineer, yet I was told to mislead clients about our capabilities. Immediately after starting, I learned my manager was interviewing. The company operates on a shoestring budget. There is no money to sponsor customer events or trade shows outside the Northeast, where they’ve acquired two engineering firms in the past five years. The BES division is barely surviving, while Forensics is doing well, but overall, lack of resources and poor planning make it very hard to succeed here, especially when your boss is vigorously interviewing to leave.
