Pros

I don't work there any longer.

Cons

This is a long list but to be short, the company has been partially bought out by an investment firm. They have since let a lot of people go, including myself. This is to make the books look better by hiring managers at a lower rate, which mean lower skill level. In my case, the manager that was hired was clueless. To compound this, he was a non-US citizen who had a serious chip on his shoulder. He was constantly complaining about everything in this country. He despised me because I was a white male US citizen with more experience. His insecurity led to my termination. NO ROOM FOR ADVANCEMENT!

Thank you for your feedback. We regret that your time here was unrewarding. While it's true that we partnered with an investment firm, our partnership is enabling us to take advantage of opportunities to expand domestically and internationally through organic growth and acquisitions. Such growth will better position us to achieve our goal of becoming the global leader in forensic consulting. At Rimkus, we are hiring talented employees at a pace that exceeds any period in our company's history. We pride ourselves on promoting diversity, which includes diversity in management. Rimkus managers work hard to encourage, train, and support each of their team members to achieve their highest level of success. Termination decisions are based on performance standards, never on race, gender, age, or other protected class. Opportunities for advancement are plentiful for those who work hard to achieve them. Our CEO understands and supports these values. The only "retirement fund we're trying to build at employees' expense" is one that creates a brighter, more prosperous future for every member of the Rimkus family.

Pros

They pay bus development managers above average

Cons

I was hired for business development but was set up to fail. I was asked to tell customers we provide full-service engineering in South Florida, even though we didn’t have the staff, no electrical engineer and no Threshold Engineer, needed for the work. Many structural projects in the area require a Threshold Engineer, yet I was told to mislead clients about our capabilities. Immediately after starting, I learned my manager was interviewing. The company operates on a shoestring budget. There is no money to sponsor customer events or trade shows outside the Northeast, where they’ve acquired two engineering firms in the past five years. The BES division is barely surviving, while Forensics is doing well, but overall, lack of resources and poor planning make it very hard to succeed here, especially when your boss is vigorously interviewing to leave.
