Great culture for young workers, but toxic management dynamics

Anonymous employee

Pros

-Good working culture specifically for younger individuals looking to “work hard play hard” -Resources galore -Extensive state of the art campus

Cons

-There is a strong “suck-up” culture, whoever spends the most time currying favor with management appear to receive the most opportunities and perks -Underwhelming salaries for the amount of work, and the amount of flashy cars, and several thousand-dollar parties, among other things displayed at every corner of the office and work events -The culture tends to have a “high school environment” where people talk openly about others’ personal lives seeking retribution -One thing you can bet on is the number of empty promises from management, specifically executives

Great for early careers but less suitable for established professionals

Business Outlook

Pros

The campus is beautiful and well equipped with amenities. I was fortunate to work with an exceptional team on large-scale projects that offered extensive opportunities to deepen my understanding of electrical systems.

Cons

There is a frat-like culture that often encourages drinking during work hours, and some events felt mandatory, primarily serving publicity goals. The financial emphasis of extravagant events come at the expense of competitive raises and bonuses. Cross-department processes lack standardization, leading to friction and inefficiencies. Without established SOPs, many colleagues operate on individual scripts, which can be frustrating. Additionally, workloads were heavy, with new projects frequently added while helping other teams close existing ones due to high turnovers.
