Pros

Easy to get help especially as a new employee Group setup means you are closely working with the other trades on all the projects. This was great as a new mech.e to get exposure to the other trades. Time flexibility. Working from home after a site visit is a big time saver. As long as you get the work done, coordinate appropriately, and don't blow the budget you have a LOT of time flexibility. Opportunity to work in other market sectors if you seek it out They pay for your licensing (EIT/PE) Friendly coworkers Great starting benefits/holiday

Cons

Tight budgets are the norm in this industry. Sometimes means it feels like you're cranking jobs out. Would be nice to have a bit more training at the front end Starting salary is lower than other mechanical engineering jobs but increases quickly as you gain experience and licenses. Hopefully doesn't change too much under NV5

Pros

Pay is not too bad.

Cons

You are not valued as an employee or human being. You can give 1000% and on a whim you are let go for no reason. They treat their employees as "disposable" and it doesn't matter how loyal you are. Management is a joke with no training or experience. Bypass this loser of a company and go where you will be appreciated.

RDK Engineers Response

We appreciate you taking the time to comment on your experience at RDK. As I expressed in my reply to another former employee with a similar impression, layoffs are always the last resort. We explore endless alternatives before making the hard decision to lay off an employee. Separately, our management team consists of highly capable, experienced, and well-qualified people. If you had a less than positive experience with your manager, I am deeply sorry to learn of these issues at this time and in this manner as opposed to when you were employed with RDK. We have great appreciation for all of our staff and that appreciation is expressed in many ways, including: excellent pay and benefits, company outings (from a casual get-together in the office to our annual awards party), by providing learning and growth opportunities, and by offering a work/life balance.
