FEI Systems Reviews

It started out good, but maybe because I was clueless as to what was going on. The further into my tenure I got the more I started to believe that one day the doors were going to be locked and the owner and his wife were going to be gone. They are needlessly cheap when it comes to supplies for their employees, but hire way too many high dollar consultants to "fix" this or that. The unfortunate part is that nothing gets fixed, they just keep changing things for the worse. On top of all this, communication, in general, is very lackluster! There was not one single all employee meeting while I was there, although they claim to do them once or twice a year.

They are cheap. Ask anyone who currently works there. Pretty much no one will deny that. It's really unfortunate, but you can't expect any normal perks. No free snacks, no extra drinks, no cups or plates, no company outings, no team events. Apparently they've happened, but not in the tenure I had there. The only events they hold annually(only two) are so far from the headquarters that many people don't go. It's just not a fun culture and having to buy your own office supplies if you want something outside of a plain notepad and a pen is really depressing. They have asked people to pay for printed pages at work. I wish I were kidding. You don't really know if the team you're being placed on is a good one. There are several contracts you could end up on, and let's just say.. there are some that you couldn't pay me A LOT to work on. There is a lot of culture clash here. It's a very diverse work environment, but there are many groups of people who get very clique-ish around the office because they speak the same language. It tends to make it a very non-inclusive workplace and people tend to stick to who they know, which can hurt something as collaborative as software.
