- Former Employee, more than 8 years★★★★★
Pros
Some really great and talented people Benefits are excellent Some good opportunities to expand your skills and learn new things (self driven) Most people have a good sense of humor
Cons
Terrible work/life balance Severe understaffing of teams Executive leadership is out of touch with most employees, employee ownership is no longer relevant Challenging to move and grow your career Low staff morale and high turnover rate Poor COVID-19 protocols, very strongly against working from home. Social distancing often not possible Robotic communication to staff with little opportunity to ask questions Very low pay compared to industry standards Salary, Bonus, Job Level, and Promotions are not transparent Poor understanding of mental health in the workplace, minimal tools and bad environment for coping with stress Large amount of responsibility placed on interns/students Short deadlines, minimal staffing, and constant changes to scope of projects Aggressive to employees that are injured on jobsites, offices, etc. Very political atmosphere Boring office, not much to do when taking a break Little to no incentive for going above and beyond Micro-managed from the top level Focused on internal divides and making them worse
