Promises not realized. Poor communication of upper management and employees (yelling is normal). No annual performance review. non-competitive salaries. Some clients dictate the design for engineers! Long expense reimbursement process(a month is normal). Inconsistent work/life balance activities. As a senior engineer, don't expect to learn more than you know already because the expectation is for you to complete as many projects as possible and mentor as many junior engineers as possible instead.
