Too many VPs

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits are Competitive and 401K match at 75 percent up to first 6 percent of salary

Cons

New management team with the Building Efficiency Divisionis forcing good people out. Morale is way down and many are leaving on their own accord. Too much focus on the numbers and very little compassion for people. Mantra of doing more with less has many employees to the breaking point.

Amazing culture, but quick to lay off to please shareholders

Pros

Culture is wonderful, pay and benefits are top notch.

Joke of the town

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

High base pay, but zero to low increment and pathetic bonus.

Cons

- Bonus counted in weeks and days. - You have zero control of your work. Zero autonomy. - Engineering work used to be done by local team, but now it is outsourced to a certain country. - For every project you handle, there are at least 5 directors who will think you are a imbecile for what you are doing. - Every quarter there will be restructuring and movements within the company. Indirectly changing the goal post of your political game. - For every one thing you do, there are 5 internal processes to get approval. - Would always rather hire external employees to become upper management, than to promote existing employees. Probably existing employees are useless to the company.
