Being an employee-owned firm provides many benefits to our employees. We recognize that our connections between offices can be improved, particularly in this work-from-anywhere environment. Our Employee Resource Groups, open and welcome to all, can be one way to provide a connection and support to you. We have a variety of other ways to make connections, one being our charitable giving and sustainability committee allowing employees to be part of something meaningful with other colleagues. With the improved collaboration technology and work from anywhere, we are seeing more and more cross-office collaboration. Feel free to email or call me and I can provide additional ways you can connect outside of the local office

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 My first day I showed up to the office, a cubicle farm and was given outdated tech.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

We take input like this seriously – especially around career growth, office experience, workload planning, and healthcare costs. We’re investing in updated tools and systems, working to strengthen how work is planned and supported, and reviewing our total rewards offerings while continuing to improve the day-to-day experience for our employee-owners. We’re also evaluating ways to modernize our on-site environment, including the ongoing remodel of our St. Paul office. Feedback like yours helps us stay focused on where we need to keep improving. Thank you for your contributions while you were here, I wish you the best in your future endeavors.
