SCS Engineers reviews about "training"

Everyone is expendable from low level tech to senior project manager and the turnover is high.

-Too many projects can lead to staff working overtime constantly… terrible work life balance. Staff is overworked -No training and support

Salaries and home/work ratio could use some improvement

No cons at the moment but would like to see more trainings focused on soft skills. There's an appetite for it and it's amazing to see what is already in the works!

You have to advocate for yourself. No one will hand you opportunities, you have to seek them out.

some offices are small with fewer employees

-If you like the ESOP this could be a plus but for new comers ESOP doesn’t add value. -lack of culture -top heavy (too many PD/VPs) -pigeonholed into select types of projects. Good luck if you want to keep a diverse work portfolio. If you’re good at one thing even though you don’t want to continue that route they will keep you there. -they will move up someone without experience faster than those who have experience -heard they are doing better on pay but when someone with less responsibilities and experience is making more than you it’s not a fun time -lack of communication and understanding from management. They wonder why folks are leaving but don’t make a change -lots of policies and procedure without guidance from management. Said policies and procedures are often forgotten and people do their own thing -training programs aren’t there they throw you into something and see if you sink and if they do have them they are not executed well -you will go far if you’re favored by upper management. If you aren’t good luck getting promotions and career development without having to fight for reasons -if you really look at the reviews the glowing reviews came from Upper management not from employees

Billable hours- a lot of time was wasted on projects due to poor job specific training. The slow periods lasted weeks to months but it was emphasized that your billable rate must be at a certain level despite the level of work load being out of your control. Job specific training was non existent and a figure it out approach was used. No two days were the same which can be a pro but due to the inconsistent nature of work, learning fast was a challenge. Manager was a great worker, strict at times with high expectations, but was too busy to train and often delegated work at the last minute. It would take several years for upward mobility in this role.
