WorkWave is a good place to be for a little while, but not to stay. It is a comfortable place to be, but if you are looking to grow… go elsewhere. There are no clear career growth plans, or proper training for the engineers.

Cons

-Benefits could be better (insurance-wise)
-There is NO true internal movement unless it's out of necessity here. Job requirements are so high that internal applicants DON'T apply as they're told they don't meet the minimum.

Advice to Management
PLEASE bring back the Employee-first mentality. There's a lot of politics and miscommunication at play in the Upper Management level (especially on the Support and Engineering levels) and it's driving your employees out in droves.

Employee Review
"Senior Project Manager, ServMan Division"
I have been working at WorkWave full-time for more than 10 years
Pros
Good team camaraderie. Management understands the importance of work/life balance.
Cons
