Pros

POWER Engineers offers an exceptional work environment, which I found highly rewarding during my tenure. My decision to leave was driven solely by a shift in my career interests away from electrical power engineering. The Hilo office is staffed with incredibly skilled and experienced senior engineers, whose mentorship I greatly valued. Their expertise significantly enhanced my professional growth and overall experience at the company.

Cons

I observed a recurring challenge with budget constraints throughout my engagement in various projects. Many projects tended to exceed their financial limits or were allocated minimal budgets to begin with. This situation often presents difficulties for new engineers, especially given the company's strong focus on maintaining budget discipline.

Pros

Co-workers and immediate supervisors are great. Upper management constantly defending the low pay and lack of flexibility.

Cons

I am not given credit for my experience. They low-balled me on the pay. They think they are trying to create a less stressful environment but actually by paying so low salaries they are creating stress for their employees.

Pros

benefits are comprehensive, including health, dental, vision. Company vest 100% up to 4% for 401 (K).

Cons

working professionals being managed down to hourly employees. The bad mid-level management decisions got trickled down to production employees. (never your manager's fault, right?) The board members tried but barely engage what's going on at the production level (remember that they are at the 5000 ft elevation view point to drive the strategy) so they read financial reports and protect their assets, but not you. No teamwork environment whatsoever. Not the best place for new grads unless you know somebody!! There is a missing leg for corporate ladder for this place, and who took it? Good Old Boy Club!! I was told at some point - this place is not the average engineering consulting firm, it earned its nickname - DUNGEON. Living in California, but NOT compensated for cost of living - the pay scale goes by BOISE, ID EVERYWHERE ACROSS THE COUNTRY- so the nick name was "WORKING POOR" for the production workers. Nothing is free, and their product is YOU.
