Bad all around - NDE Assistant Matrix Engineering Employee Review

Good company good manager, good coworkers

Lots of travel Long hours away from family

Stable employment in a specialized field environment Strong earning potential for experienced, field-based employees Those with established internal networks often experience strong career progression

Limited strategic HR support structure; much of the responsibility fell on individual contributors without corresponding authority Reactive culture rather than proactive workforce planning Communication gaps between departments and senior leadership Advancement and opportunity can feel relationship-driven rather than process-driven Career growth pathways are not always clearly defined for corporate or non-field roles Inconsistent communication and shifting priorities Limited transparency in decision-making Work environment may feel competitive rather than collaborative
