Pros

Excellent technologies, scrappy bidders, good coffee.

Cons

When a contract is won, an arbitrary budget is established by the PM that hourly workers furnish. Dudek's profit strategy is to undercut its technicians as much as possible, then PMs pocket the money in their semi-annual bonuses. As a result, I was asked often not to report hours I worked, or re-arrange hours to avoid overhead. Verbal abuse is general practice. I reported that my superior cut my hours as a punishment to higher and the response was "well, that's the way it goes sometimes." They do not promote from within, and because of their high turnover rate, this company will fold in the coming recession.

Pros

Working outdoors and year end bonus after an extra quarter into the next year

Cons

Rude/disrespectful, expected to work weekends and use your own car because they tell you that you will have access to fleet vehicles when you are hired but there is actually only one and it’s always reserved by someone else and they expect you to take time away from your own life to hang out with “office friends” and you are to put your own wellbeing and safety in the back burner so that they can reach unrealistic expectations so that your boss can get a fat bonus and you can get all your time burned up
