They own you

Project manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Pros

Started out as being a great people centric place to work, then they grew too fast for their own good.

Cons

2 year non-compete. They want you to think they own you once you're an employee. If you find a better opportunity (and trust me, there are plenty out there) they threaten you with the non-compete. They try to tell you that you can't work for any other engineering firm, or any client that DG works with for two years, which is absurd. If you wanted to know how indentured servants felt, then try leaving and bettering your career. Bob Chapman writes a book on how "Everyone Matters", but allows his companies to treat people like they are owned slaves.

Good People Terrible Practices

Project engineer

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Good oppotunities for personal knowledge gaining. Throw you at straight out the gate which I enjoyed

Cons

First forcing recent Grads/First time employees sign a 2 year non compete and not mentioning it until you are ready to sign the paper work is disrespectful. Anyone considering a job here needs to take into account that you can not work for a competitior for 2 years after leaving. This is not about losing competitive advantageous' it is solely for punishing you for leaving. Would never work here again, 1.No Real Support Structure 2.Bonus program really only supports the PM's. 3. Pay is very low compared to other companies I have worked at 4. Benefits will bankrupt you. They aren't benefits at all, especially if you are young with no family.

If you want horrible benefits, no guidance and be thrown to the wolves...this company is for you.

Pros

There is no guidance and oversight, so you can pretty much do what you want.

Cons

Outrageously expensive benefits, horrible PTO, no guidance, leadership pipes up with it will line their pockets. I would think long and hard about WHY you would want to work here.
