Pros
The only thing that was positive was the salary. I worked with some good people but they usually quit within the year after they saw what they actually gotten themselves into.
Cons
This is company that does not have any engineering standards. It has procedures and policies but not any engineering standards or means for educate or guide its junior or senior engineers. It is a company with no engineering integrity. They openly "steal" the software of their competitors. They have and are using Bechtel's ME101 pipe stress software for years which is in violation of various copy right laws, business laws, and ethics. Its a company that does not promote the importance of Professional Licenses and the principles behind them. Too many of the junior and mid level engineers have quit over the years in order to get the proper experience needed to obtain their PEs. They work their engineers beyond normal fitness for duty hours in order to make customers happy, unfortunately this leads to very bad quality and performance. They will push to achieve a schedule and submit poor quality documents which usually makes the customers even more unhappy because they didn't take the time to do it correctly. They like to offer their customers discounts on everything to get work. This means the employees will work numerous free (unpaid overtime) hours; usually late nights and weekends. Supervisors that tried to help their employees were either laid off, demoted, or fired. They love to emphasize to its employees that they are employee owners. Its the biggest silent joke of the company. You'll work the long hours (unpaid), but then the bonus that they advertise will not be there except for those that have been there for 10-15 years. The vast majority of the employees that joined ENERCON have left (fired or quit) within three years. The turnover rate exceeds 40% which is unheard of in most engineering companies. I left this company and feel that leaving was the best thing that every happened to me. They pushed my friends out for questioning their engineering and pushed out our boss when he tried to provide training, engineering standards, and challenged management in working its employees beyond reasonable hours. The offices were a reflection of the worst working culture I have ever witnessed in my career. The engineers that attempted to make improvements were forced out. The big talk of the Kennesaw office (Management) is their Stock Price. They really should focus on the development of their engineers and stop promising to customers what they cannot provide (we;re not stupid and yes I'm know considered one of your potential customers)
