Consultant - Consultant Rimkus Employee Review

Rewarding work, great people, good office culture

Workload can be uneven depending on project pipeline

They pay bus development managers above average

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.
