Micro-Management HELL!

Pros

When I think of some, I'll come back and repopulate. For the time being, my only "Pro" is that I won't be here much longer.

Cons

As my title stated, this is a place of micromanagement hell. Managers think they know more than their subject matter experts. You're constantly being second guessed, even though you're right. Project management team hasn't a clue.

Excellent executive leadership, solid values and success driven organizational identity, strengths reside in unmatched industry knowledge and in vigorous, perpetual pursuit of sustained, superior operational excellence. Colleagues are professional and pleasant.

Cons

Staff-level managers and functional leaders are held accountable for results without accountability for how they manage or develop subordinate employees;

It's OK

Pros

It's smaller than the other engineering firms in the area so it's more flexible but also means the pay can be a bit less but it's a quality group of people.

Cons

Lack of resources at times due to the nature of the business. Only 2 weeks paid vacation.
