Is this your company?

Humiliating, completely unappreciative, very unprofessional, poorly organized, and cruel. - Project Engineer POWER Engineers Employee Review

Pros

Personnel located in offices throughout the U.S. are assigned to teams based on their expertise and drawings developed in multiple offices coordinated through the Project Manager. This is the modern way to run this type of business - but requires very strong QA/QC to maintain client satisfaction with the work quality.

Cons

Below industry standard salaries in most locations due to basing on Boise, ID cost of living for cities across the U.S. and mediocre benefits. Although there are many inexperienced personnel in the company there is a lack of a strong training program. Project deadlines result in people being trained "on the job" at the expense of budgets due to the associated re-work costs. High pressure work to maintain schedule and budgets. Budgets and cost do not reflect actual costs to the company resulting in distortions of actual project costs and profits.

Pros

Was a genuinely great place to work. Great people and great culture. It was worth the slightly-lower-than-average pay because work life balance and benefits were great. I enjoyed going to work every day.

Cons

Poor financial decisions from upper management regarding the shareholder program led to the company's demise. Upper management sold out to WSP. Management made millions while long time employees got zilch. As someone else had mentioned, retention bonuses were unfairly distributed. Most people didn't get any retention bonus even if they had been long time employees of the company. It really felt like everyone who wasn't upper management got stabbed in the back. They got their payout then dumped the company. Still stings to this day.
