They do not give raises

Pros

The culture of the office can best be described as normal and okay. Nothing wrong with it, but nothing special about it. My coworkers and boss were nice.

Cons

I worked there for multiple years without receiving a raise. Many of my colleagues in similar places in their careers at other engineering firms have received multiple raises and bonuses for less amount of time working at a company. There is nothing special about S&ME, they are just another engineering firm. Without offering compensation to their employees, I do not see a reason why someone would want to work there or stay there long term.

Pros

It is hard for me to even think of something positive about this company.

Cons

There is way too man chiefs and not enough hard working individuals. The atmosphere of this company is toxic.

Pros

The industry is incredible for anyone looking to diversify his/her experience in his/her field. One is able to be a part of a team constructing major arterial highway systems, major commercial projects, major industrial projects, all the way to marine work. I truly believe Matt Ryan is the man to fix the company, but he has to sever ties with those that are bringing the company down (in management).

Cons

Where do I start? Technicians are over worked, under paid, and not valued. Project Managers struggle to win work due to corporate legal concerns. You’ll hear “don’t pursue that” more than anything. Well, how do you want them to win work? Senior management is a struggle. Those of us that haven’t been a part of S&ME for the last 30 years understand that changes need to occur. Unfortunately there is little “power” to make these changes. The C-Suite personnel do not convey the truth to Matt. He’s doing the best he can with the information provided. I don’t believe that there are individuals that are intentionally trying to bring the company down. I just believe that there are several individuals that are still living in the 1980s.
