WesTech Engineering reviews

Lots of nepotism still rampant at this company, even though HR supposedly put a stop to that. Relatives of higher up employees have lifelong jobs, no matter how they are doing. If you're not family, you have to work harder, and get paid less. Pay is sub-standard and the yearly cost of living raises are considered adequate. 3% a year is standard. Not ok. Flat organization makes it hard to get anything changed, as so many people need to approve any change that it usually loses steam and flops. Engineers make bad bosses a lot of the time, but it's the only way to move up here so that is where they end up after 20 years. Misogyny and unfair treatment of women is rampant. Pay gaps, lack of promotion and being called "honey: happen a lot.

Pay and benefits are lagging behind the market, and as a result the talented and ambitious employees are likely to leave. Flat company structure leaves little room for advancement within one's current group, usually requiring a move to a new product line/group for promotion.
