Thank you for your feedback. We wanted to extend a courtesy response to your misleading remarks, specifically with regard to our software Quality Assurance (QA) program. In response to your comment regarding the lack of process: ETAP is a Process-Centric Company ETAP’s QA program, established in 1991, governs the entire life cycle of our product including software development, validation, support, and operations. Our QA program complies with many international standards. That is why most of the nuclear generation plants and mission critical facilities have standardized on ETAP. Without our meticulous processes in place, ETAP would not be able to follow the rigid requirements of our QA program. In response to your comment on lack of leadership: Strong Leadership & Management With over 270 full-time employees, 16 ETAP Automation offices and 35 sales/support offices worldwide, ETAP is the most comprehensive, and the largest power system software in the world. Contrary to your statement, ETAP management along with our CEO, have successfully led our company for over thirty years, growing at an unprecedented rate and becoming one of the most respected names in the industry. The 50 Best Workplaces in 2017 The Silicon Review Magazine elected ETAP as one of the 50 Best Workplaces in 2017. ETAP compensates its employees based on the level of their skill and experience. Our compensation packages are above what the market requires to attract and maintain a team of motivated and bright individuals. Our employees receive bonuses and salary raise every year exceeding industry standards. High Employee Retention If you are good at what you do, you will find ETAP an engaging, stimulating and fun environment to hone your skills, as did hundreds of engineers, scientists, and professionals who are proud to call ETAP their work family. We sincerely hope you enjoyed your time with ETAP and are successful in your current place of work.

Great Coworkers, Toxic Environment

Pros

Most coworkers are wonderful, kind people. Access to company gym. Job security. Decent benefits.

Cons

While most coworkers are good people, the bad ones make life here awful. The management at the company is floundering. Many of the mid-to-upper level managers want to make improvements to the company but are stifled by the CEO, who dictates how the company is run based on how he feels any given day. It's common knowledge that things like bonuses can get withheld if the CEO is in a bad mood or decides you're the cause of some problem, regardless of the actual reasons for said issue. HR is ineffectual at best, and is ill-equipped to make positive changes to the company culture. Some managers will do their best to buffer their employees from the worst of it, but others micromanage to the point of making this a toxic place to work. New employees come in excited to work for a company with ETAP's reputation in the industry, but within a few months are just as anxious to find new employment as everyone else. Project tasks for development and testing are calculated and managed by the hour, instead of in days. Working from home is not an option. Getting up to take a break or go to the bathroom is discouraged by some managers. Working here takes perfectly nice people and makes them cynical and frustrated all the time.
