What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Strategic alignment and reasonable goals
Listening to employees needs and complaints
Communication lacking. A lot of favoritism. Dishonest and disloyal if not employee owner.

Respecting our home lives. Efforts have been made to improve it for working. Families
Review from Engineering Dept
What is the best part about your compensation package?
The bonues and stock we get each year
They offer a complete compensation package in clouding competive wages, boxes, stock plan and earnings on company shares
employee ownership. ESOP as retirement compensation
Flexible hours, work location, stock, and bonus
Superior progress towards financial goals for retirememt.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
After nearly a decade working here, I have repeatedly discussed the discrepancy between my salary and market value -- and the delta 30% between me and coworkers -- but management continues to push the idea that all compensation aligns with our market competitors.
Having a higher salary would be nice
Not even enough to afford 1 bedroom apartment average in my city
Paid fair salary instead of receiving bonus as big portion of compensation.
management is dishonest and awful
What are some of the best things about your team?
Cooperative and friendly. Inclusive approach
Review from Engineering Dept
Amazing support. They all love their job.
Team bond and subject matter expertise
We are like family. Because we are employee owned, we are all interested in doing our best for the client so we can get repeat business. Make the client profitable and we will be rewarded at the end of the year.
Everyone does their part and participates.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Office space is uncomfortable and uptight
Focus on work instead of "culture".
It’s like high school or an extension of college
Review from Engineering Dept
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Great culture and environment. Everyone loved it here.
Managers have discretion and flexibility.
Low level employees commiserate in the company of their fellow contemporaries, having events like Chick-fil-a Day and a yearly chili cook off to celebrate the original loan being paid off by the founders. These events come with congratulatory remarks from managers, and no compensation increases.
Review from Engineering Dept
Being an employee-owner of the firm.
Genuine respect and affection for each other while expecting great results from all team members.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Fake corporate mottos without any real implementation or moral compass
It’s become incredibly cut throat
Review from Engineering Dept
What did you like most about the interview process?
Quick response time and clear and concise instructions for location and parking.
Structured and methodical process was followed
Had a panel of a couple of different people. Each one had targeted questions that were strategic and thoughtful about what I would be doing.
It was done virtually and happened quickly.
Interviewers were genuinely interested in what I had to say and wanted to learn about my experience and more about me. Did not feel like they were just reading off a script.

The ability to be compensated in comparison to the skillset, quality, and amount of life given towards the responsibilities in a position.
Review from Engineering Dept
Having plenty to do. Teaching others so that they can take over my job one day.
Flexibility with limits. There is an understanding that life happens, but after all we are here to make money for ourselves.
Being a part of something bigger than myself.
Getting the job done to the satisfaction of the Client, our own company and ourselves personally.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Management is not good. They are dishonest and unfair
Management over promises on very little budget of money and man hours
