Terrible company to work for

Pros

Coworkers are friendly. CEO is friendly.

Cons

This review is for SJ location. Management is very poor. There’s an obvious lack of knowledge by top management. During my time there they lost multiple contracts with companies midway through project due to their poor performance. These faults were merely due to poor decisions made by management. Very hostile environment with the managers who often yell at employees. President of the company is very disrespectful and I’m honestly very surprised how they get away with it. The new hires struggle due to lack of training. It’s embarrassing how the management speak to the clients and architects. In addition, the overall salaries of employees were below the industry standard. I recommend people look for other MEP companies with better work environments and more competitive salaries. I left this place for a 40% raise with a competitor.

All feedback is appreciated, evaluated and addressed by our senior leadership team. Although this review is an outlier, we take it very seriously. We, absolutely, do not support this type of culture and will continue to work to be better.

Pros

Great list of clients, Free snacks, drinks and goodies, "lunch and learn" opportunities for development, convenient commute location right above the Montgomery Street BART station. 401k matching is much better than average.

Cons

Top-heavy corporate structure, inflexible management, poor attitude of some tenured engineers, uncompetitive salaries, poor benefit coverage, very little room for advancement, essentially zero talent acquisition, cliquish workgroups, heavy workload, short deadlines, high stress, open office environment is noisy and disruptive, frequent interruptions for trivial issues or tasks.

Pros

Clients with name recognition. Flexible hours. Snacks and treats. Annual holiday bonus.

Cons

Poor overall management. Too few employees with a formal college education in their field and the right licenses. Some coworkers have an industrial worker attitude. Projects are routinely dumped on people without explanation. Top heavy. Principals are producing markups. High stress level. Managers uninterested in the opinions of the employees. Poor onboarding process and weak talent recruit.
