(Very) Poor Man's UL

Engineering team lead

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

There aren't many. If compliance testing is your thing, or you happen to be at one of the lab's where advancement opportunity is actually available, it's probably ok.

Cons

This company likes to purchase other companies and then does a terrible job of integrating them into the larger company. They don't know how to grow organically. The adage "You can have it fast, cheap, or good" doesn't even apply here: You often don't get it fast and you usually don't get it good. It may be cheap--cheaper than UL. But you get what you pay for...

Business Outlook

Pros

4 weeks of PTO, 5 after 5 years if you can take it.

Cons

Poor leadership from upper management that trickles down. Middle management is better but over worked.

Business Outlook

Pros

There are some good people that work there and the only thing that makes it bearable.

Cons

You are only a number and a line on a spreadsheet. If they need money, they will cut crucial engineering to show stockholders that they are trying to control the bottom line, but what the stockholders don't know is they are dumping experience and relying on 1 to 5 year experience engineers to run things. Not good for clients or young engineers.
