A Brutal Workplace With No Chance Of Substantial Raises Or Stability
Pros
401K Flexible Schedule Great Coworkers That's it.
Cons
Constant Instability Multiple Furloughs Low/ Non Existent raises Low starting wages False promises to keep people During my years working at Intergraph Government Solutions (they changed their name to Hexagon US Federal), there were vicious cycles of mass furloughs, followed by bringing people back only to furlough them again a year later. Most coworkers I knew had been furloughed 2-3 times, but kept coming back because they couldn't find a job in geospatial in the area. Every Friday, we feared layoffs and often referred to them as Furlough Fridays. We were promised higher raises were coming, but they never panned out. In my years working there, I never received over $0.60 in a raise despite consistently positive reviews and working knowledge of multiple areas in the company. As soon as work did come in, there was a mad rush to employee as many new hires out of UNA as possible in order to not call back the older (more expensive) employees there. All of our profits heading out the door into the hands of Hexagon AG made people feel there was no reason to try.
