Pros

- Fast paced environment to quickly expand your knowledge and ability for independence.

Cons

- Management does not consider any of your personal career goals. They are great engineers, terrible people managers. - Hard work is not rewarded nor acknowledged. Favoritism is blatantly evident. - No compensation for travel between projects even though expected commute can be up to 2 hours. - No work/life balance. Management sets standards of job to consume your life, everyone is overstressed with no compensation for absurd amount of overtime. - New hires are thrown in from the beginning so you must catch on quickly without all the knowledge of where to find the documents you need. Lack of oversight in the field can be concerning. - Questions are often left unanswered if it conflicts with management’s plan that assumes employees are on board without consideration. - HR is nonexistent at projects with some employees showcasing hostile behavior to certain factions and no repercussions for doing so. - Dirty office at projects because management wants to save money and have no cleaning services on a “professional” site. Equipment is not kept up with due to cheapness from management as well. Everyone is fresh out of college which makes for a fun atmosphere, but your pay will stay stagnant from the beginning. If you have no attachments, it’s a good initial job to get your experience and get out to a company that values your growth.

Pros

- Exposure to several different control systems

Cons

- Live to Work workplace. - High turn-over not only in NC but the Ohio locations. - No senior engineering staff to train. - Managers are running around and too busy trying to train new staff, sell projects, and manage projects. Management regularly works 7 days a week. - Experienced engineers cannot focus on providing excellent customer care or training new staff due to being bogged down in too many projects. - Only willing to hire new hires. If I were a company looking to hire RoviSys, I would not hire them for my work due to the massive gap of experienced engineers. - Competition in the area pays more and has more experience than the average RoviSys engineer. - The business model of hiring young engineers and having them gain experience on the job will not last and competition will eventually win.

Pros

-Immediate coworkers are great -Great opportunities to advance your career -Fast-paced, engaging environment (90% of the time) This company does a great job of selling their product. Which, by the way, is you! Your time and skills. The job security as long as you are a good worker is there. You can advance to a managerial position rapidly with only a few years experience (I saw it happen and it was not uncommon).

Cons

-Compensation is very poor for workload (you will work many extra unpaid hours) -Work/life balance is awful. -An extensive amount of travel (be prepared to drive a lot) -Some managers are awful and have no technical knowledge -Work hard play hard culture I''ll divest into these a little more. 1 - compensation is the same for each level in the company (so all system 1 engineers get paid the same) regardless of location. When you live in an area with a high cost of living, the compensation provided is simply not nearly good enough. Also, be expected to work 50+ hours a week, pretty much every week. There will be the occasional week where 60+ hours is expected, along with on-call support work depending on the project contract. 2- You most likely will spend hours in your car each day. Obviously this depends on the project you are staffed on, which can change in an hour's notice. A great example is mine, where I moved to be closer to the office but then spent nearly a year driving 2 hours in each direction because the management was not transparent on my role. 3- Some managers are only good at selling a sales pitch. They do not know any technical knowledge, nevermind how to be a manager. A very common occurrence is for a manager to be less like a leader, working long hours aside you, and more of someone who enjoys golfing on nice days and sitting on their boat. 4- Lastly, the culture is work hard play hard. You will nearly always work a 50+ hour week. Most of the time you will be in the field, on a project, working 12+ hours a day along with weekend/3rd shift work. You will never be compensated financially for any of this, but they will offer to buy you alcohol every month or so to make up for the 100+ hours extra you put in. If you have kids or want to settle down, this is a very hard company to be at. The atmosphere is dominated by college tendencies, mainly since the majority of people working there are right out of college (they have an extremely hard time keeping employees once they realize things).
