Pros

Great CEO and vision. Potential for great work life balance.

Cons

I was hired with the premise that I could manage my own time and work efficiently to increase my compensation. That all changed with centralized scheduling. Now they fill up your week with inefficient driving, reduce the expected report writing time without consideration to the type of project and actual work hours. Then if you miss a deadline you get scolded like a child and asked to explain yourself. Engineers are required to be thorough and correct, and sometimes that takes time. This doesn't seem to fit in Donan's current business model. Also the non-compete agreement keeps employees from finding better employment or looking for better compensation. This is a tool to keep raises below average and employees scared to leave or speak up about inequities.

Pros

Initial interview went well. Good follow up and reminders from initial recruiter.

Cons

Will be putting this review on Alpine Intel as well because this is one of those companies who rebranded instead of making substantive changes to a flawed business model.
