Pros

a pro of this company are the people! there are some great people here, but they are few and far between. A lot of them are very odd and I couldn't believe they actually hired them. If you are lucky to have a few good people to work with, you can definitely develop. benefits are fine

Cons

Wow, where to start. -can't work from home -multiple reports of harassment (eventually dealt with) -outdated working environment -strict dresscode (do not wear denim! old school culture will not allow it!) -underpaid and overworked I'm not sure who wrote the positive ones, but man this place is backwards. working in a grey cubicle might be one of the hardest parts about this job, apart from the strict policies and non-progressive atmosphere. they wonder why they have turnover, but they do not invest in young people. they would rather rely on hiring new people every year or so and trick them that is a great place to work. this company will be done as soon as all the older heads retire. can't wait to be free!

Unexciting but fine

Pros

40-hour weeks (paid overtime for anything extra). Useful computer training classes to get you started (Microstation).

Cons

Stressful deadlines made worse by disorganized project managers. Everyone is spread too thin. Office culture is dusty and boring (and not progressive, i.e. subtly sexist/racist comments from older male employees). IT department is not open to suggestions. HR is absent.

Management and HR cannot address inappropriate behavior if it is not brought to their attention. All issues and concerns are taken seriously when communicated.

I am able to leave some day

Cons

Overwork their employees, severely underpay engineers compared to the average for the area. Training isn't so good either. Alot of learn on your own but it depends on your PM. Not alot of vacation time

Sorry to hear this review. The company is competitive with regard to salaries and benefits, and a lot of effort is put forth in terms of training. Additionally, 17 days of PTO that begins accruing with the first day of employment is more than average. If there is a legitimate issue, it would be helpful to speak with someone who can help.
