Pros

SEH promotes a healthy work life balance for all employee owners. It has given me the ability to be a professional and still attend to my family needs. The atmosphere is pretty casual. You never feel as though someone is looking over your shoulder. Everyone comes and goes at different times of the day and that is something that is a norm. You also have the ability to perform your job remotely as needed, which in my case has proven to be a huge benefit. The leaders that I work with have all been very welcoming and willing to help train me in the industry which has been instrumental in me getting up to speed. SEH also offers an employee stock option for all employee owners. I haven't yet seen the payment since it doesn't take affect until you hit your 2nd year of service, but it is truly a great benefit to have and I look forward to taking part in that.

Cons

We do have some people in leadership that don't exhibit leadership model skills, but that is at every company. We do have some great training programs in place internally, that probably are not utilized to the extent they should be for those leaders to improve. One other thing the organization could get better at is holding some of those leaders accountable.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of SEH. Work-life balance really is one of the most important attributes of working at SEH. Likewise, the employee stock ownership program is one of the most sought-after benefits of working here. When our Company succeeds, we all succeed. I appreciate your comments. Please feel free to talk to me personally to discuss any concerns you might have. Yours truly, Sam Claassen CEO

Pros

Work life balance Work from anywhere policy

Cons

All senior level engineers are absolutely checked out and just coasting until retirement. It's clear everyone has advanced through years with the company and not on merit. The company is incredibly slow to adapt. My first day I showed up to the office, a cubicle farm and was given outdated tech. They still supply wired keyboard and mouse and wired headsets. It was a warning sign of things to come. Saying the office environment is drab is too kind. They still employ full wall cubicles and closed door offices with no windows. Any company even remotely in tune with today's office culture left these behind 10-20 years ago. The work is slow and unrewarding at best. They work on bloated government contacts. I was routinely given 2-4 hours of work and told we have 40-80 hours budgeted so make sure you use it all
