Lost its way

Pros

Salaries are more than competitive. Engineers are competent and hard working. Engineering consulting has a variety of different projects, by its nature. ENERCON was a awesome place to work for many years.

Cons

The company has lost its way. Two to three years back they hired a level of management from outside that has insulated the upper management from the engineers doing the work. Nothing passes this level in either direction so that the little information provided in the monthly meetings is all anyone not a director or above knows about the senior leadership teams vision, if they have one. Silos and division among teams are created and fostered while lip service is given to teamwork. New ideas are squashed while management stands behind practices that have caused employees to leave by droves. It's a good company and can recover, but no efforts are being made to do anything but reward management by getting uncompensated work from the engineers. Client focus is great, but employee focus is now nonexistent.

Pros

Pay and benefits are pretty nice, but it's ultimately the only reason you want to stay.

Cons

Bad management, no direction, false claims of future work, bad management, regular employees not being told the actual state of the company affairs, false transparency, bad management. I see the older upper management bailing and taking their ESOP before it tanks.

Pros

one can easily get by with minimal interference as long as stays friendly to the supervisors and trade information and gossip for perks in return.

Cons

Low levels of control and massive bureaucracy has frustrated those employees wanting to get things done right. Expect all major and many minor decisions to go through some sort of formal approval process. Lazy co-workers do a poor job at what is asked of them and don't take ownership so that they would not be given more responsibility. Unfortunately, poor performers are rarely coached to better performance or fired for cause. There is a large group of employees that don't work for what they want, instead they play dirty and butter-up the retired in-place supervisors into getting what will eventually be used to their advantage such as a raise or promotion. Over 50% of civil group is comprised of recently hired retirees as independent contractors who are getting paid at senior levels but produce poor quality deliverables and overrun the project budget. The contractors get paid over time which is even more incentive for the slackers to elongate a simple task while permanent engineers struggle with staying billable and getting paid for over time.
