WesTech Engineering Reviews

Most every con comes back to being very very tight about money. As a result of being so concerned about their business there is a tendency to micro manage. Every trip must be approved by at least 2 levels of management, unless reason can be given it must be the lowest cost fare. There is no per-diem to travelers, at the time I was there they were expected to spend $35 or less on food per day of travel, and you would be questioned if you went over. Raises are at best 2% per year. After receiving my Professional engineering liscence (which they were very supportive of me getting), the only raise I got was because I was promoted from a Project manager II to a III. They are notorious for not paying as much as could be had elsewhere for similar experience. As an engineer out of School I received 44K starting which was ok. They are good for starting people. as time progressed however I could not achieve more. at one point a newer employee with a lifetime of experience was made a leader of a group to which I was going. He approached me and said he had no idea how much I earned, but felt I was a great dilgent worker and that, though he didn't know how much I was paid, he felt I worked enough to earn at least 40K a year. At the time I was making 60K. I should have realized that once he knew how much I actually earned suddenly I wouldn't be as good of a worker. And that's exactly what happened. I finally left for a 20% raise at a different company. Due to the other Friday being "On call" many managers don't take them. This leads to a culture from the management that looks down on people who actually do take those Friday's on call actually on call instead of being at the office.

Limited diversity: dominated by white Mormon males who haven't worked anywhere else. HR Dept. is substandard: there is no human, just limited resources. Compensation is a little below national market but livable for Utah.
