Pros

I honestly cant think of any.....very toxic environment

Cons

This place will expect you to work all day and all night to make up for the 15 meetings they have all day trying to figure out and attempt to be telecom consultants and an engineering firm. Not to mention the pathetic performance in construction management. If practical telecom is what your experienced in stay away from the chaos and avoid having way too many inexperienced managers throw you under the bus to make themselves look better. Tilsons definition of technology is to hire more managers who know nothing about the industry and to put band-aids over band-aids. Sad because the Salt lake team had some talent but they continue to lose the good people

No one at Tilson is expected to work the hours you're implying but we do have demanding, challenging and important projects that require committed individuals who are willing to own and be accountable for their part of the work. We're sorry your experience at Tilson was different than you expected and we wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.

Pros

No one can force you to work at Tilson.

Cons

Management, communication, the false idea that there is an open door policy to express your concerns. The extra layers of management to cover for weak management.

We're sorry you had a poor experience at Tilson. It sounds like you had great teammates working besides you and we appreciate your advice. Tilson does have an Open Door policy but like all Open Door policies, they are not to be confused with an anonymous reporting option like our Ethics and Safety line. We hope your next venture is a better fit for you.

Pros

Company is great at posting 5 star reviews for themselves on Glassdoor. Beware of perfect scores. Traveling, take home company vehicles is a nice perk.

Cons

Pay is below industry average for a field engineer in my opinion

Thanks for your time spent at Tilson. Tilson does not post reviews about itself, request or incentivize employees to post. We encourage those with helpful feedback to share internally and help make the company better from within. We appreciate your advice to management. We feel we pay competitively for market comparison coupled with employee experience and employee performance.
