Work style and management does not engender loyalty

Project engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Opportunities to travel globally and work on different projects. Better than average pay at the expense of lower than average PTO/Benefits.

Cons

Political BS, empty promises. The company values employees only if you happen to get into the right circles. Otherwise you are a piece of meat, expendable at the end of each project.

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The flexible work day the 'billable hours' setup lets me pick how my time is allocated, which seems to result in more personal liberty and less micromanaging by managers

Cons

billable hours means if your work dries up, it can be a problem to find additional jobs where your help is needed
