dE Review - Anonymous employee d'Escoto Employee Review

Most of the time for a construction gig

Sometimes not chill but you know how that goes

- Wonderful office staff, great people to work with, extremely friendly and dependable - SME's are knowledgeable - Hybrid model - Benefits decent, PTO decent - HR that actually cares about you as an employee

Warning: This is specifically for the Chicago office and my experience in the Marketing/ Proposals department, which has an extremely high turnover rate: - Unclear expectations: Rules and performance criteria for this department change on a whim - Unfairness: Preferential treatment for some while others are ignored. One employee given fully remote work to accommodate her circumstances, while the rest of the office and their circumstances were denied. - Marketing department not given any trust or autonomy to do their job. - Execution of proposals is often needlessly convoluted due to the acting VP's disorganization, disinterest, distrust, and unwillingness to allow feedback. - VP babysits every single department and micromanages to the point of neglecting things he needs to do. - Complaints are ignored. - Family owned, so there's no upwards mobility. - Ridiculously strict policy regarding in-office days and hybrid schedules despite all meetings being online, and 99% of the work being on the computer.
