Thank you for the feedback. We are sorry to hear that you did not receive the raises, or acknowledgement of advanced education and certifications. That had to be incredibly disappointing and frustrating. S&ME offers education and credential incentives to encourage our employees to gain additional skills and to aide in further development towards their career goals. We want to ensure that all employees have a clear idea of possible career paths, and to be actively engaged in conversations with their managers about the future, and their career goals and aspirations. One of our strategic objectives within our five-year strategic plan is to help every employee reach their full potential, inclusive of a career development plan and quality performance reviews. Please react out to us with any additional feedback at feedback@smeinc.com.

SHAME ON YOU

Pros

When I worked there, upper management was wonderful.......but - see below

Cons

Awhile after I left, people retired, new people came in and people were let go. What has happened to you people!! I have heard bad things are happening there. I guess I left in time. Seems like things are going downhill, with upper management. I think you may have screwed up. Things can't always stay the same, but when you change things, make sure it is the right people!!

Your feedback is appreciated. Change can be both exciting and scary, as it pushes each of us outside of our comfort zone. S&ME is changing. In 2019 new leadership was brought on board as we saw the retirement of our former CEO and CFO. We have a new five-year strategic plan that focuses on our culture, our people, our clients and partners, continued growth and profitability. We are working to centralize several of our processes, ensure consistency across our 30+ locations, and enhance communication and collaboration. Please reach out to us with any additional feedback at feedback@smeinc.com.

Poor Management

Pros

Talented engineers and scientists that are good to work with.

Cons

Upper management is clueless. If your not located in the Carolinas, you're invisible. They tend to play favorites, and if you're not a favorite, there's no point in staying.

Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your 10 years at S&ME and are sorry to hear that you felt undervalued in your location. We acknowledge that as S&ME grows, communication and culture can be diluted the farther away from the “home” office. We aren’t perfect, but we are evolving and adapting to create an environment where our employees can be their best. As an example, we recently announced a new Office Principal role in each location to foster organizational communication, collaboration, and culture within each office.
