Worst company I have worked for

Pros

Numerous Vice Presidents, Directors, and Practice Leads who do not have a vision or strategy. Lots of opportunities to post on Yammer. Many emails from management to keep you entertained. Quarterly Townhall Meetings without financial updates. And ...

Cons

Incompetent management. Projects managers do not know how to manage large projects and blame others when things go wrong.

Pros

You will learn a lot from projects and their clients.

Cons

This company treat their employees like garbage. Low pay and lot of hours of work. They mostly concerned about billable hours and utilization. Lack of management and no right direction give you too much stress and put you under lot of pressure. They lay off employees just to keep their pockets full.

Pros

-Plenty of opportunity for challenging projects and PM/leadership if you work hard -Entry level nuclear systems and PRA course is high quality -Plenty of seasoned industry experts in nuclear/PRA to work with and learn from -Employees care about each other and want to see each other succeed -Frequent raises for high performers (although raise percentages shrinking) -Opportunity for engineers to participate and guide industry cutting edge software development -Due to the multitude of clients/projects, competent engineers get plenty of autonomy even from a young age

Cons

-Owned by venture capital and continuously more focused on profit and new business (sometimes at ethically questionable costs)--has lead to focus on quantity over quantity, toxic prioritization in what should be a client-focused business (consulting) -Upper management is disconnected and has poor rapport with employees; messages seem fake and have unrealistic company goals -Middle management are technical engineers thrown into leadership positions leading to poor employee morale during substantial changes arising from relentless mergers -Never enough employees for the work. Poor resource planning; only look to hire after it's too late and people are drowning in work. -Poor to non-existent technical review structure (in nuclear/PRA) leading to questionable quality or mistakes slipping through
