Good company to start getting compliance experience

Pros

In my experience, they readily hire people without prior experience in the TIC field and provide time to learn. The management is overall very friendly and helpful.

Cons

The pay is not competitive with the competition. This has led to many experienced engineers leaving within 2 to 5 years. This makes it difficult for new people to learn where they are making mistakes. The engineer churn leads to experienced engineers being expected to train several new people, while maintaining a full project schedule. This has led to burn out. There is a focus on revenue that often causes projects to be rushed. It can be difficult to get the time you need to review a complicated product, as the clients expect a quick turnaround and sales is often reluctant to issue a requote.

Pros

Not a single thing is right with this company. Toxic!

Cons

I don't even know where to begin. Work life balance is non existent. Managers protect their buddies even after egregious violations of policy. Culture is work work work until you can't keep your eyes open, get the job done no matter what, at the expense of your family, your safety, your sanity. Management talks a great game but does not back it up. Terrible culture. Seriously if you have ANY other options go elsewhere.
