Bad corporate culture

Consulting engineer

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Some worker bees are very nice, hard working, and very passionate. Some are also innovative. But the challenge is that they can be very hard to find.

Cons

Ceo and cfo are super cheap. They switched to unlimited vacation so that they don't have to give employees their earned time off. Even though it's unlimited, it's up to your manager approval and those managers feel like they're gods so alot time they will work load and deny you vacation request. Before this switch, i earned 4 weeks off per year. After the switch, i can only take between 2 to 3 weeks off. So much for unlimited vacation. This should banned.

Bad culture, disorganized, political and fear- based

Business Outlook

Pros

Some very nice, genuine people in spots but they're horribly outnumbered by a very bureaucratic, slow moving organization that lacks a sense of purpose and acts with little to no urgency

Cons

Very poorly organized sales teams, no clear direction with very poor and inconsistent communication from the top of the sales ranks. Sales culture is very poor and everyone works in fear and in silos. Resources are scattered with very poor alignment. Again, terrible communication from the top. Very few people get merit increases and RSU's. Too many people not really working hard and there is such poor accountability, nobody even notices this as a problem.

Amazing people but poor salary

Business Outlook

Pros

- Good career path - Good study material and certification access - Good office conditions, Friday lunches, 10 min massages twice a week (prior to COVID) - Good benefits (unlimited PTO, health insurance, etc)

Cons

- Salary is not competitive at all with industry. Your raise (from year to year or even if you get promoted) is always based into a % of your current salary. If you started with a low salary you’ll never make it. From year to year is based on an extensive performance review (maximum of 5%) and for promotions (10%- 15%). - No holidays
