AREVA T&D Reviews in Redmond, WA

Pros

benefits, very close culture, okay management

Cons

too slow, not much to learn

Advice to Senior Management

be professional

Pros

You can take long lunches to work out at the gym, driving a child home from school during work time, chatting at the water cooler, taking care of personal business such as taxes or bills.

Cons

Management turns blind eye on couple bullies. Tip: keep away from them. Slowly sinking ship doesn't invest in new technologies.

Advice to Senior Management

Be more technical. Seriously look at quality of new products. Let the people be creative. Plan for long term, not just for next bonus time....

Pros

There are a lot of bright, dedicated, and hard working people who are very committed to their customers. The local management recognized and rewarded top performers. The local management seemed very supportive of internal moves to provide people with challenging growth opportunities. In general, the local management was very supportive of achieving a good work/life balance (see downsides).

Cons

Long-term vision, planning, process improvement were always talked about, seldom, if ever, executed. This seemed primarily due to a lack of adequate resources and support from upper management -- and an abundance of work. While the local management was very supportive of allowing people to pursue a healthy work/life balance, the amount of work needing to get done, combined with the number of people doing it (and their experience levels), made it virtually impossible for most people to achieve.

Advice to Senior Management

Let the local leadership lead. Support their direction.
