Pros
Small company that could have potential if it weren’t for the cons. There were more “pros” during the first couple of years employed here, like a steady and organized schedule and yearly reviews with pay raises, but they’ve quickly dissipated.
Cons
Upper management is extremely out of touch with what goes on in the company. Atlas used to have weekly company and team meetings to keep up with the goods and the bads which was awesome. You felt the connection between teams and saw a solid future. The last couple of years have been a steady decline in company culture and attitude. I watched countless new hire technicians and other employees come and go. Who wants to work for a company where you aren’t seen or appreciated? You’re thrown into a completely unorganized mess and expected to navigate it perfectly. There aren’t any training materials, you don’t get a welcoming other than “welcome (enter name)” and then you’re forgotten about and there aren’t clear growth pathways into the company. As a technician, the worst part of Atlas is the lack of attention to safety. If you’re a “heavy technician” you are required to work on roof tops of the buildings in Seattle which requires you to be very close to the edges of these skyscrapers. Some of the equipment is 5-10 feet from a straight 30 story drop. During the 5 years of my employment not once did we talk about roof safety. I had to request fall protection and begged for regular general safety training (never happened). Find somewhere else if you want to be a technician. There is no production manager, they outsource project coordination to remote workers in different time zones, and there are maybe two technicians currently working for the WHOLE Seattle area.
