Bad business outlook - avoid - Anonymous employee Chartwell Consulting Employee Review

Great colleagues. Really enjoy the work that we do. A great way to leverage my engineering degree into real-world benefit very quickly.

High amount of travel, Mon-Thurs most weeks of the year. Other firms travel Mon-Fri so it could be worse, but don't take this job if you aren't prepared to do that

Excessive travel, if that’s a goal for you.

The company is truly out of touch. They subject experienced engineers to a graduate level application process, losing the most valuable talent in the industry. This creates a culture of inexperienced, post-graduate engineers with excessive re-work and competitive dynamics. If they conducted a normal application process, they would acquire those that have been in the industry with a proven track record of solving complex manufacturing problems. There is extreme and unsafe pressure with all work due to their failure in proper hiring. There is a slave-like culture that starts from the application process. They look to verify how much you can handle under extreme pressure, which is not a measure of any true engineer skills, in any way. As an engineer with experience from other companies, I confidently condemn this company as out of touch and unsafe for true engineers. If you want to be treated poorly and overworked with management grasping to unrealistic timelines and projects, work here. For true engineers that value thoughtful approach and complex problem solving with actual support, look elsewhere.
