Pros

The pros used to be good benefits and a family like culture. As long as you make very little money your job is safe. If you are a dog person you will love it here. (the CEO's dog can be aggressive - be warned)

Cons

Due to what appears to be financial issues everyone is under scrutiny and if you make any good money they lay you off or find something to get rid of you. Most management has been let go over the last year and there CFO left as well. The CEO has a small group of favorites that he listens to and gets advice from. If you are not part of that group then you may have issues. Lack of engineering resources. Engineers constantly travel with limited work life balance. Remote offices lack a voice. Questionable sales decisions when it comes to charging customers for work. If you are cat person.... no.

ABS Technology Response

I just wanted to thank you so much for your feedback. All of us at ABS are working hard to continue to improve and grow. ABS is financially sound and continues grow and evolve as the market changes. Our CFO is still an ABS employee working part time and providing sound financial leadership as well as contributing to our ELT and other strategic initiatives. Regarding benefits, ABS is always looking for ways to enhance our benefits and reinvest in our employees. We are looking for opportunities to not only offer more cost effective solutions to insurance, but also extend our benefits package to include more non-traditional items related to wellness. We certainly hope to continue to expand future offerings as we have the resources. I know that this time of year always puts a strain on engineers as the summer months are so busy. I can promise you we are working hard to get engineers in the right locations with the right skill sets. If you know of anyone that would be good please refer them immediately. Your comment on remote offices is great feedback and a reminder to me personally, as well as the other executives to visit those locations more frequently. As a current employee I certainly hope that you feel comfortable bringing items either to myself or your manager as we are constantly striving to improve. My door is always open and I try to remind people if you don’t share then I am unable to attempt to take action and make changes. As I have been here 27 years, I know ABS is not perfect but I strive every day to get as close as possible. Hunter p.s. we love cats as much as dogs
