Pros

The salary seems to be above average for this type of work. There is an employee ownership program, and the experience is useful when looking elsewhere.

Cons

The company is in it for the money and the work, period. Do not expect to have a good work-life balance, but rather to feel always under pressure, especially from other engineering disciplines who are always out to blame you for the project's shortcomings. The disciplines never get along, and they only view each other as scapegoats for when things inevitably go wrong because of a scope change (without corresponding increase in billable hours). As a result, the number-one skill that you will learn as an employee at Enercon is covering your ass around every corner. You must document every single correspondence, lest it be used against you once the blame-game takes center stage. There is a severe disconnect between the staff engineers and their managers. The managers seem to only want to report positive gains and how much "success" their group is seeing, despite the reality. There is no level of meaningful training. You are simply fed corporate talk and then thrown onto the first project without much guidance. In order to complete calculations or paperwork tasks (of which there is always too much), you are led to copy from previous projects. These sample projects are not necessarily Enercon projects, but also from other companies who do similar work. This copy-paste method of carrying out the work does not build one's skills as a competent engineer, but rather leaves you feeling like a pencil-pushing copycat. Any site visits you are sent on are most often useless. You are being sent on a walk-down just to show the client that you are willing to drive hours on end (in the midwest, this can get old) just to measure the height of a single baseplate on the wall or to recover a document from the client's system (one that is only available on-site, for example), instead of just requesting the measurement or document by email or phone. This kind of thing would only take the client 5-10 minutes to complete, but instead Enercon sacrifices the entire workday of multiple engineers in order to carry this out.

Pros

Can't think about any pros except high salary rate. The flexible hours is good but it is common in the market

Cons

Not real engineering company. People copy and past from previous jobs without real knowledge behind it. Don't let people work unpaid overtime
