-Poor salary for mid-high level employees, no benefit to staying at the company long term. Raises don’t keep up with inflation.
-Timesheets. As a billable resource, your time sheet will be the bane of your existence. Extremely difficult timesheet and hours management system. 20% of your job will be filling out your timesheet and asking for hours from project managers, this will be one of the MOST stressful parts of your job.
-company is owned by second private equity firm. (was a very generous ESOP/ gain share program prior to being bought out, they replaced it with a 3% 401k match, ESOP was much more competitive). Have seen little change since being sold by the first company and being purchased by the second one.
-Mediocre, at best, bonuses. 1-2% of salary tops as a regular engineer
-overall benefits package is below market average (no paternal leave, no sick time, only 6 federal holidays, below standard 401k match)
