Pros

I had the opportunity to work with some great engineers and thought provoking cases. The salary was very good and benefits were inline with the industry.

Cons

District Managers main task is not supporting the staff but profitability. Rimkus goes through District Managers like crazy. They are the fall guys. The company has unrealistic expectations for report turn around, 10 days. With the technical review of the reports and then CPC review of the reports. The 10 day turn around is a complete joke. The CPC needs to go away. The insurance clients Rimkus have unrealistic expectations. Demanding and complain when you explain that there are real reasons for the delay. The office I worked had about a 100% turn over in several years.

Thank you for your candor. We agree that we have great engineers on staff, exciting work, and competitive salaries and benefits. All companies exist to make money, but our focus at Rimkus is not on profitability alone. Making a difference for our clients and, in turn, for the customers they serve is at the heart our business. Moreover, we have leadership initiatives in place to train managers, minimize turnover, and ensure that supervisors empower team members to reach their full potential. It’s true that our work environment is fast-paced and report turnaround times can be ambitious, but we have simplified operations to make deadlines easier to achieve. The good-old-boy network has departed. Fresh leadership, forward thinking, and employee-friendly policies are how we earn the respect of our customers, employees, and competitors.

We regret that your experience at Rimkus was less than favorable. As one of the nation's most well-respected forensic consulting firms, the nature of our business requires that we employ highly educated professionals. Even so, we work hard to eliminate and address reports of unprofessional or disrespectful conduct between peers and managers. What one team member lacks in a particular area of expertise is bolstered by another team member’s professional insight. This collaborative approach allows our employees to expand their skills and knowledge while ensuring that we deliver the most reliable, accurate findings for our clients. No doormats here; only welcome mats.

Pros

Very collaborative atmosphere within our teams, whether corporate or engineering. Open door policy on questions with specialists in every field to answer them. Enjoy the camaraderie and the fast pace. A company of people that still knows how to have fun while getting it all done.

Cons

No company is perfect, even though I gave 5 stars. However, management works hard to address employee concerns as they arise. If you do not enjoy hard work, this is not the right place for you.
