Pros

Never in my life have I felt more validated, respected and appreciated than I have during my 12 years with Becht Engineering. The family's "Eagle Scout" values are mirrored throughout the organization and instill a level of confidence, trust, and commitment not readily found elsewhere. The company how has the third generation of family members (BSCE, BSChE, BSME/MS Nuclear Engineering,) in Leadership positions; however, the values remain the same as they were at the launch of the company more than 50 years ago. Becht Engineering champions its employees. Leadership encourages us to be creative, take calculated risks, overcome obstacles, and achieve unimagined results every day. Our President and Vice Presidents don't sit in an ivory tower. They are in the trenches with the rest of us, working for the betterment of us all. The success and growth/expansion of the company is due to the unfailing vision of our President, Dr. Charles Becht IV, but it also stems from Leadership not placing limits on employees’ potential for growth within the organization, and our ability to contribute in a meaningful way.

Cons

Although our headquarters are in New Jersey, we have several offices across the United States (including Hawaii), and one in Canada. The company is in a period of rapid growth, and although we communicate with each other extensively via telephone/Skype and email, it sometimes is challenging to keep track of new employees, their roles, etc.

Pros

Above average compensation. True family-owned business. Excellent culture. Input consistently sought. Excellent LDP program. Smart people throughout the company. Consistent opportunity to solve problems. Generous 401k plan. Generous profit-sharing bonus program.

Cons

Health Benefits are probably a bit above average, but they contribute the maximum to the HSA plan which some don't realize and this heaviky offsets premiums.

Pros

Mostly remote work, relatively light travel for consulting

Cons

Have to compete with coworkers to get projects to work on. Management says they won’t layoff and then a few months later they layoff employees. They can’t manage their headcount and overhire to layoff all within a few months. Healthcare benefits are subpar. Most of the work is quite mundane, and some of the clients are abusive. If you have a stable job I would not recommend leaving for this employer. I think years ago they had a much better reputation although it’s gone downhill recently.
