POWER Engineers reviews

not a lot of room for professional growth. Upper management is out of touch with the workers.

Pay: Expect to be paid the going rate for a new grad engineer working in the design field. You can earn a few more dollars/hr doing the same job with someone else but POWER as a company makes up for the low cash compensation with the awesome health benefits, 401k matching, and 3 weeks of PTO in the first year. If you want to make more than 60k right out of school then find something besides design firms. Management: Management will not address the leadership issues within teams. The team lead is running off talent left and right, not because he is a bad engineer but because he is a poor leader. Protesting the micro-managing, the misguidance, and the being thrown under the bus is futile because the inner circle watches out for one another. The good engineers leave for other jobs while the mediocre engineers hang around and get promoted. For the few decent engineers (or drafters) who decide to stick with POWER but are not part of the "in crowd", they are paid less than new hires. Management is salaried PLUS year-end bonus, their end game is to squeeze everyone to boost that bottom line but contribute nothing productive to the team.
