Great site team, company management is a struggle

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great people and many long term knowledgeable employees.

Cons

Scatter-brained management strategies. Often found ourselves tasked to execute priorities before management had adequately aligned support. This led several times to situations of hurry up and wait, leaving the customer reasonably upset and venting this frustration to the crew on site.

Low pay. Ample vacations but cannot take several days at once. No sick pays or makeups are mandatory even for salaried professionals. Micro management and younger engineers given leadership roles over senior engineers. No room for advancement.
