Slow management leads to stalled projects and engineer stress - Recensione dipendente - Validation Engineer II presso CAI

Great company for experience in life science and mission critical environments

Lots of traveling with short notice.

- Time and a half OT - There used to be an amazing 401k (15%+ESOP), that’s just been axed thanks to private equity buying us out - Good colleagues - Willing to train people - Good pay if you’re working OT and live in a cheap area

- Overtime far from guaranteed. Sometimes you’re scrapping to hit 40 hours. - Pay sucks in expensive areas - Project assignment is mostly luck of the draw? They need to be a copy-paste monkey? You’re a copy-paste monkey until the end of days. - Company did a lot of things to increase enterprise value in the short term in preparation for the buyout from private equity - Company repeatedly shorts people on raises and promotions and works to muddy the water on payscales and promotions.The middle has hollowed out because of lack of raise/promotions. People get 3 years and then bail. - Travel can be super heavy and last minute - Company far more bureaucratic than it needs to be
