That freedom comes with a healthy dose of responsibility and an expectation that you will manage yourself with minimal feedback. In practice, that means you don't know you're on the wrong track until it's too late, then you get blamed for everything. An extremely gross and toxic work culture - one so bad that the State AG filed a massive lawsuit against them for discriminatory practices - just Google the company name and/or its CEO Peter Zieve and you'll get a taste of what went down there. Being paired with more decent people is a complete luck of the draw. The company was shielded from the more normal financial constraints of the business world for a long time because of a high barrier to entry into the market. However, that seems to be changing more and more, and a company that was used to throwing money around now finds itself tightening its belt. Things have gotten ugly. Pay cuts, suspension of bonuses, etc. Major business decisions have increasingly fallen on a reckless CEO who is clearly out of his element, shielded from consequences by decades of prosperity for which he can't really claim much credit in creating. The company's misguided sense of "we're not like the other guys" means they refuse to take in outside talent for upper management, and as the old guard dwindles, a more and more prominent succession crisis makes itself known. I strongly recommend that Engineers looking for work avoid this place at all costs.

Management, compensation, raises. Peter, the CEO, has always been a outspoken on his political and genealogical views, but the covid pandemic and 2020 election really made him go off the deep end. Every day is bring your politics to work day at EI now, which really hurt morale and led to good people quitting. The business model here is to essentially hire new engineers for cheap and work them for a few years till they move on. Nothing wrong with this by itself, but the mentoring and oversight of new engineers is not always good. This has led to tons of big mistakes and money wasted when a new guy messes up. Makes projects lose money, not good. No raises for who knows how long now. Peter whining that he can't retain workers and blaming political/economic reasons for this. Braindead response from management to low morale and high attrition. No profit, so no profit share.
