Pros

Knowledgeable experts in their field. Some really great people to work with smattered around the company.

Cons

Company is a mash-up of unrelated businesses with too much overhead and management running around like chickens with their heads cut off. Too much focus on short-term utilization goals instead of long-term opportunities. Understaffed, overworked, with lip service paid to quality instead of actually investing in quality. Middle management cares more about reporting up instead of supporting those underneath who are left to fend for themselves.

Pros

(Fading legacy of) great fire protection engineering

Cons

The person who posted the five star glowing review recently is from Marketing, and is DEFINITELY not a Project Engineer on our team! Just more futile attempts at PR from a sinking company. “Not fair” comment from that same review is invalid because you cannot pick on someone for their honest assessment of what used to be compared to now. It is definitely a lot of people’s opinions that the outlook is very grim, and we all KNOW we are working much harder for much less money and benefits, and that several company acquisitions and expensive purchases do not make any sense. I’m not sure why the reviewer is saying that others are from small firms or living in the past....? The reality is RIGHT NOW that money is all the new owners and execs care about. Yes, run it like a business, of course, but also emphasize personal and professional fulfillment, work-life balance, adequate benefits to compete with the local job market, and appreciation and recognition for jobs well done. The soulless, relentless drive for more billable hours for less compensation is a company’s long term death sentence, which the reviewer is conveniently ignoring.

Pros

- Collaborative environment - Knowledge sharing is valued (Yammer is used to answer questions, to find someone to help or to learn how to apply code ) - Great people - Fair benefits - Career opportunities - Professional human resources department - Good leadership

Cons

- The amount of change has been overwhelming to some (not all) - Systems are improving but still have a way to go - Our small office could use a better layout. It’s an older style.
