Makes working as a mall Santa look like long-term employment!

Senior electrical engineer - r&d

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

1. Above average compensation 2. Some of the most talented people I’ve ever worked with (of those that stayed long enough to meet) 3. A good place to work if you’re an intern since 3 months is about the point at which you realize it’s time to get a real career

Cons

Many - Specific to R&D in Houston 1. Highly toxic work culture: A. Highest turnover rate I’ve ever seen including my grocery store job in my teens (estimated 30-40% of engineers left within my first year on the job) B. Rampant micro-management C. Exorbitant number of meetings (including daily stand-ups) D. Completely unrealistic and unjustified deadlines for product submission (18 months / 5 years is closer to industry standard) leading to: E. Excessive UNPAID overtime F. Periodic de-motivating and demeaning reviews with supervisor G. Poor Leadership (Directors and above) have obvious lack of experience on production programs H. Random and good-ole boy promotions I. Contractors and consultants make-up nearly half the R&D work force and will continue to increase
