IoMosaic Reviews

Where to begin? - Salaries at least 25% lower than industry and geographical averages for Chemical Engineers. - Cheapness pervades throughout the company culture, from paying for your own PPE to no bonus incentives for engineers below the Senior level (which requires approximately 10+ years of company service). - You will work at least 45 hours a week, with no flexibility of hours as expected from other consulting firms. - 3 sick days a year (meaning everyone in the office is constantly sick), around a week or two of starting vacation (but they may ask you not to take vacation to account for their low employee retention), and no personal days. - They pay for health insurance premiums, but the deductible is nearly $10k for a family. It is also an insurance company that is specific to New England, so good luck finding a good doctor anywhere else in the country (not that you would want to given the deductible). - Salary increases limited to 3% per year, with no accounting for inflation. And 3% is for the truly "exceptional" engineers (which means those who completely support all company decisions). - There is a salary cap set to the low six figures. So the longer you work here, the more money you are losing compared to working for another company. - Your advancement is not based on how well you perform, rather how much of a "company man" you are. Do you complain when treated badly? Do you ask to use your vacation during busy work times? Do you need to take a morning to go see the doctor? Then don't expect to get a raise that year. - You will be blamed for things outside of your control, and punished for the decisions of those above you. It sounds like a general complaint for any company, but it occurs significantly more often here because of the way that the incentive plan/analysis plan is put into place. - Some of the things you will learn are useful and interesting, but a lot of what you do here is specific to the products that are used only at ioMosaic. That means that when transferring knowledge to a new job you need to be creative.

-Seems to take no interest in investing in employees (for example, unwilling to pay for PMP certifications) -Project management doesn't seem to be respected as the full time job that it is -Very little maternity leave/no paternity leave -Single option health insurance with huge deductible (granted the first portion of the deductible is reimbursed which is appreciated) -No career growth - they talked about doing something about this for years but all I saw in my time there was an increasing requirement in tenure between promotions so it actually got worse -Salaries that aren't even remotely competitive for the local market -Skills are not transferrable -No effective training - just hundreds of slides of equation derivations for the first 2-3 days you work there, when you have no context at all, followed by "read these ten industry standards" which are basically reference textbooks, again with no context to understand what you're reading...and that's basically it -Seems to be no emphasis on anything at all except billability and revenue -Toxic/negative culture where everyone feels beat down; dangerously low morale
