Pros

A laid back atmosphere.

Cons

They promise so much yet deliver so little for employees. The pay is below industry average. A few managers have belittled employees. There's a major lack of professionalism by a few managers in the back as apparent with their childish games and behavior. Bringing up issues to managers tends to go in one ear and out the other.

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

You will get to learn a few things from scratch about applications and development (but you have other better places to learn them).

Cons

Don't even think about working for this company. If you unfortunately end up working for this company, be ready to be laid off at any point. There is absolutely no job security here. They will just use you and throw you away saying that the company is not doing well. If you are hired, its just like a temporary job. If they manage to get a few projects from customers, they hire engineers to work on them. When the projects get over, they will lay you off...as simple as that. Don't even dare to think that you are a full time employee.
