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.

Pros

Excellent office culture...we have each other's back and everyone is there for each other on the quest to provide the best customer experience. We bring a, "whatever it takes" mentality to our workday. Best part of our job is our work family.

Cons

High pressure industry that must be managed daily. We save lives! That brings a heavy responsibility to what we do and means we must remain focused at all times.

Pros

Decent pay, good PTO and benefits

Cons

Everything else. ZERO training. They hand you a laptop (which is garbage) and say good luck. There is no "team." Everyone is on their own. The senior techs all reached their peak 20 years ago and don't even know what BACnet is. The bureaucracy is unbearable. Ordering a simple part is nearly impossible. There are so many apps you have to check in on everyday and they care more about those metrics than they care about the service their customers are receiving. If you want to get your butt kicked everyday with zero support at a company that specializes in taking advantage of their customers, this is the job for you.
