Pros

*Small company feel *Very relevant in the utility automation industry -- day to day work makes a real difference for the company *Competitive pay *Systems Engineering is like a sandbox full of toys. I don't build it, sell it, or design it. I create original, customized solutions using NovaTech's products to *make* it work exactly how the customer orders it. That's just fun. *The culture and people are fun. No power trips here. *Jeans are OK! *Great place to come as an intern, developing engineer, or advanced engineer *Training is getting better and better. Learn at your own pace. *No "corporate ladder" to climb. Advance to management or just be an engineer. Both are OK

Cons

*No "corporate ladder" to climb means no opportunity for a six-figure salary some day. Some might call that a lack of opportunity for career advancement. *Employees usually start as "contract" for about 6 months before being hired as a full-time employee *Relaxed structure and minimal performance reviews is nice, but it also can negatively affect growth

Pros

I had the privilege of being part of the Novatech family as an accountant for a significant period, and I must say it was an enriching and fulfilling experience. Novatech's management team deserves accolades for their visionary leadership and dedication to the company's growth and success. Their open-door policy and willingness to listen to employee ideas created an environment where everyone felt heard and valued.

Cons

too many people that were coming and going
