Pros

This company is a great place to start out a career and even progress through mid-later stages of a career depending on what you value. The work culture is perfect, flexible schedules, and fairly competitive pay for 1-3 years of experience (I cannot speak for more than that).

Cons

Biggest complaint is the company's finances are odd, particularly ESOP. This company used to be an employee owned company with a stock plan, however they had to sell off (and use loans...) in order to payout the ESOP payments to people retiring. Employees had no say in this decision (probably for the best, otherwise Enercon would have laid off a ton of people). Regardless, huge red flag for me and sadly that was one of the reasons many had joined on initially. Raises are strange. Did not keep up with inflation. Bonuses are also non-existent for the majority due to the company being acquired by a private firm.

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.
