Pros

It seemed like an awesome company at first because they were willing to train, and my first day on the job there were people passing around a bottle of vodka in the break room. They send you to training out of state, and it's mostly a party trip. It sounds great but then things start to change.

Cons

The management watches people very closely, to the point that they have people in Austria counting your mouse clicks so that they know how much you're using each program. I'm not joking. Supervisors will tell you that they are on your side and that you should always feel comfortable coming to them and asking questions, but when you come to them with questions they treat you like you're total scum, and that they have so much more important stuff to deal with and that you're just another annoyance. They will also stab you in the back because they'll give you a project with unreal expectations and then despite telling you that they completely understand why the drawings are late (usually because the person who sold the project hasn't given you the information you need), they will side with the one who has made the complaint every time regardless of the circumstances. In the last few months, the engineering department has become divided into clicks based on ethnicity or nationality. Everyone else is on their own when it comes to sharing work information, helping each other to get projects completed, or going to lunch. No matter how long you work there, how much effort you put into your job, how much you sacrifice to make things work so that you can keep your job, no matter what you're going through personally, or how much respect you show to your supervisors, they will never treat you with a reasonable amount of respect unless you already have a lot of money and regularly go deep sea fishing or scuba diving in Fiji. If you're a regular lower middle class hard working employee you will get almost no respect, and one day you will be fired for no good reason, or you'll just be treated like dirt until you decide to quit. Something that they don't realize is that when they fire someone, that person was already looking for a way out of that job, and if the management is reading this review, maybe it will help them to know that most of their engineering staff is currently looking for another job because they can't stand the way that they're treated.
