Pros

People at the base level are great to work with. I had a great time working with some great individuals. You will have a lot of work that can be challenging and with little to no oversight. This can be really good for improving your skills

Cons

Senior management force they way through - You do not feel listened to and therefore they make you feel useless. You lose your personality the longer you stay there. 60% of the engineering workforce has resigned due to enforced rest day (COVID is still impacting the business as of late 2022) and because they got sick of lies. Beware, only junior engineers are left now If you don't mind being bullied and feeling morally down, this company can be a match.

Pros

Those that speak up are listened too. Focus on continuous improvement. Great improvements in employee engagement and empowerment.

Cons

IT support is based in Head Office (Australia). Seems to take forever to get system issues or improvements addressed.

Pros

On the whole, the working people were OK, easy to get along with and cooperative. The pay was just OK, and one could do a lot worse in the SEMA realm; most SEMA member companies are underfunded amateur-hour hobbies/passions-turned-businesses, and EGR is run as a business, which should be a good thing.

Cons

The US office is not really run as a profit center, more as a distribution/cost center. The goal of minimizing costs drives the culture, and there is a lot of turnover. Even the biggest customers complain that they would get a new coordinator about every six months, and the cycle - new customer rep starts, being sometimes introduced by the current person, sometimes not - get-acquainted - define the problems - begin to solve them - person quits or gets canned, - new person starts - rinse, repeat forever Some might find the almost second-nature Aussie use of profanity used in the workplace a bit uncomfortable. If so, either understand up front that it isn't meant in a bad way or directed as an insult or even at you, but more as just their dialect - or go elsewhere. It just isn't such a big deal.
