Pros
9/80 AWS; work from home two days a week.
Cons
I usually approach company reviews skeptically, but in hindsight, I regret not paying attention to the warnings in Enercon's reviews, which could have saved me both time and embarrassment. With that being said, I joined ENERCON immediately after college. The salary they offered was very competitive. I was very excited to learn the ropes of Nuclear engineering. However, when I was assigned a project, I was expected to navigate it like an experienced engineer. I was instructed to use a Standard Design Process manual, and I was expected to decipher the design process myself, only seeking direction when necessary. I have requested and received my manager's assistance and guidance. Unfortunately, some of the assigned tasks were so advanced that no amount of help would be sufficient enough. The following sentence is borrowed from another reviewer of this office. "Management will refuse to invest in training new graduates and will instead just dump projects on them and expect them to figure it out. " Unfortunately, when I started, there were only a few senior engineers left, but the ones that were left were able to help just a little. I was left more confused after seeking help from some of them. The office's morale is abysmal, with new hires having realized the challenging environment they've stepped into. A significant portion of the office consists of employees who were hired within the last 6-8 months. During my time at the company, there was a shortage of billable work, yet the company continued hiring engineers. As a result, many of us charged our hours to an overhead. Here are some reviews I pulled from other reviewers that I believe to be true: "Enercon continuously writes proposals under-budget hours for fixed price bids, which gets them in trouble when all of the budgeted hours are used but the work has not been completed." "New graduate hires and inexperienced/incapable employees will stay because they have no other option. The OP Enercon office is well on its way to being solely staffed with lowest quality, least useful, least capable employees..." Unfortunately, I find this to be particularly true. This review is from 2015: "The projected employee need has been increasing month after month though the office has not been awarded new contracts for almost a full fiscal year. Work is running out and the majority of employees have been on overhead for almost a year. Yet there is still hiring of new employees." I can attest to the same problem in 2023
