20 days PTO per year. Slightly flexible hours. Some team building events.

Management creates stressful environment with unnecessary deadlines. Many engineers expected to be 80-90% efficient while compensating for insufficient support staff. Clients are often difficult to work with. Low pay, high work load.

Good company to start getting compliance experience

Business Outlook

Pros

In my experience, they readily hire people without prior experience in the TIC field and provide time to learn. The management is overall very friendly and helpful.

Cons

The pay is not competitive with the competition. This has led to many experienced engineers leaving within 2 to 5 years. This makes it difficult for new people to learn where they are making mistakes. The engineer churn leads to experienced engineers being expected to train several new people, while maintaining a full project schedule. This has led to burn out. There is a focus on revenue that often causes projects to be rushed. It can be difficult to get the time you need to review a complicated product, as the clients expect a quick turnaround and sales is often reluctant to issue a requote.
