POWER Engineers reviews

There is no mentoring if you have 5 years of experience or more. You just get put on projects on your own to grind them out. The benefits are very basic for an engineering company, a bit less profit sharing than my last place. Some people dress reallllly sloppily. I was hired as an hourly employee (huge perk for engineering!), but after 3 years was promoted to salary - and year end take was 5% less than previous year. There is no reason to come work here if you are in the middle years of your carreer and won't be getting the hourly pay. The management style here I would describe as "good ole boy" club. My particular office is 95% white guys which lets some people be a bit to free with their language and attitudes. There are huge IT issues. No special benefits like maternity/paternity leave. If you are in a smaller office expect to get the scraps (furniture, printers, projects, recognition), as well as missing out on networking opportunities.

1) very bad place to work : Upper management is really bad at the houston office. Power tripping, name calling is very common. 2) Micro managed: Management goes looking in people's cube to see if they are working or not. Trust issues. 3) very low pay ( less than national/houston) average, long working hours. 4) Upper management is filled with people with no formal education in business or experience in business. ( you can be a great engineer, but that does not make you a great manager) 5) No long term vision for company to grow; they higher new engineers every year and pay them less. These new hires work their for 3 years get experience and leave. the cycle then continues... this results in no strong work base. 6) work culture is really bad, you are expected to know everything about everything...if not, you will be called into conference room ( just wasting your and the office's time)
