Pros

SEH is a employee owned company. Employees take great pride in ownership and collaborate on projects for the common good of the company.

Cons

Pay was below market average. At the time this was due to employee stock being factored into benefit package.

Pros

Have a great CEO who prioritizes employee wellness as well client satisfaction. That has a trickle-down effect where you see a lot of people able to have a good work/life balance. The upper management is also making solid growth decisions which have kept the workplace fairly stable. A great place to grow and stay if that's what you are looking for.

Cons

Every place has it's issues. All I can say is that the firm is working hard to fix those issues. Saw great improvements in healthcare this year which is pretty admirable still having under 1000 employees.
