Pros

During Rough time they tend to try to keep their employees. Flexible schedule

Cons

Only a few people actually work and the rest just do small assigned tasks. Hard workers don't get the raises and appreciation that they deserve. Working at EDG, not only will you have to do your Job, but you will have to know how to do everyone else's jobs, including document control, administrative and design work when your an engineer. There's no accountability and responsibility, for example if you mess up instead of training you they assign the task or project to someone they know will do they job. It seems like a majority of the people that work here are in some form family related. Wife, sister, brother, Aunt etc.

EDG Response

I'm sorry you feel as though an unfair amount of the work falls on the stronger employees. This is unfortunately sometimes the case and though not intentional, it does occur I'm sure. We are always looking for ways to better prepare our team so please share your ideas with your supervisor or one of the Principals as they are eager to hear how we can continue to make this a Top Workplace. Thank you for your feedback.

Pros

Many pros, EDG started as an oil and gas firm exclusively but has made great progress into other industries such as automation, industrial, and utilities in the last few years; what this means is workflow is becoming even more steady regardless of what the oil and gas industry is doing. EDG is also an employee owned company so there is a notable emphasis on employee comfort and longevity at the company. Philip Mynt, the current CEO, is a great leader that has some initiatives to grow the current pros and address some of the cons below. The last pro I'll mention is honesty; when times were hard in 2020, like they were for all O&G firms, corporate leadership was had the courage to tell us the real state of things; cut backs had to be made, but to my knowledge, no full-time employees were laid off.

Cons

EDG is a relatively small company within the industry having somewhere between 500-1000, and the compensation levels I think are reflected by this. Technology within the company is a little behind but this one of the initiatives Philip is working to address and I would see this as a short term con in mid 2024.
