Pros

- Decent pay out of college - Hybrid work - Alternate work schedule (4 day work week every other week)

Cons

This company is much more interested in churning out subpar work to undercut competitors than actually building a foundation of knowledgeable and skillful engineers. The budgets for distribution projects are unrealistically low due to poor management and severe undercutting, and engineers are expected to make up for it by working overtime constantly. Management does not have the insight to allocate budget upfront for proper training or process improvement so even more budget is used up in the end because of unresolved inefficiencies. There's also a real lack of experienced engineers because of the high turnover rate, since top performing employees are worked to the bone and dip after a few years. Flexibility towards employee work arrangements have also been reduced, with remote days being reduced to two days a week, and flex hours being discouraged. Overall Enercon doesn't seem too concerned about employee satisfaction and well-being.

We appreciate your acknowledgement of our competitive pay, hybrid work model and alternative work schedules. You mentioned several other areas, including project budgeting and training that we know are critical to a supportive work environment. We have recently made several major updates. For example, our training department just rolled out optional courses and has enhanced our new hire onboarding. We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration as we continue to evolve our total rewards and employee programs.

Pros

I enjoyed working with my colleagues - they brought a lot of experience and were wonderful to be around. No complaints about pay or benefits, have yet to pay out of pocket for routine eye, dental, or health exams. Some of the travel was cool.

Cons

PMs underbid projects like crazy. We'll have a good proposal drafted up and PM will say "cut 20%" with zero insight into the details and possible repercussions. Of course they disappear once the project is underway and the engineers have to answer for why the projects are out of money. OT is technically available, but since projects are on thin budgets from the start, there's never any available budget to use it. Leadership wants you 95% billable which makes everything cutthroat. People constantly fight over hours to make sure leadership doesn't come around asking why they have more than an hour of OH on their timesheet. I’ve had coworkers beg me for work. After spending a few days getting them hours, they were often no longer available, because they were trying to work on other projects as well. And although we were all fairly knowledgeable, we didn't have any internal standards, so we basically resorted to practices learned from previous jobs, which made for disjointed submittals.
