Pros

Not many but this section requires 20 words minimum so paycheck, health insurance, co-workers in my group, somewhat flexible work schedule, paid over time (most of the time).

Cons

I've been here for 7 years and watched Enercon go from great to terrible. It seems that almost every year they reorganize the company and they can just never get it right. The last reorganization was the worst. They added a lot of highly paid managers who are still here even after several blindsided rounds of layoffs. Some of the hardest workers Enercon had were let go instead. Layoffs were done by managers with no HR in site (I believe they should have been at each office when this occurred!). They underbid all projects and then we are stuck working on nonchargeable projects to get the work done. They waste time with ridiculous online training that 99% of the time has absolutely nothing to you with your job. They hold the whole "you are an employee owner" over your head when management wants something but leave you in the dark about office relocations, company resizing, and any other important issues that should concern the employees. Yearly raises are decided by upper management who have no clue who you are or how hard you work. They also seem to be very spiteful, you can do everything right all year but make one mistake and that is all they will remember you for when it comes time for reviews. I am not a disgruntled former employee, or an employee who was laid off, I am a currently employee who is just speaking the truth and has watched what once was a great company crash hard.

Pros

I enjoyed working with my colleagues - they brought a lot of experience and were wonderful to be around. No complaints about pay or benefits, have yet to pay out of pocket for routine eye, dental, or health exams. Some of the travel was cool.

Cons

PMs underbid projects like crazy. We'll have a good proposal drafted up and PM will say "cut 20%" with zero insight into the details and possible repercussions. Of course they disappear once the project is underway and the engineers have to answer for why the projects are out of money. OT is technically available, but since projects are on thin budgets from the start, there's never any available budget to use it. Leadership wants you 95% billable which makes everything cutthroat. People constantly fight over hours to make sure leadership doesn't come around asking why they have more than an hour of OH on their timesheet. I’ve had coworkers beg me for work. After spending a few days getting them hours, they were often no longer available, because they were trying to work on other projects as well. And although we were all fairly knowledgeable, we didn't have any internal standards, so we basically resorted to practices learned from previous jobs, which made for disjointed submittals.
