Cons

Leaving this company was the best decision of my career. They’re grossly mismanaged at the top, highly intent on controlling/micromanaging every aspect of people’s jobs. The company is too frugal to hire more/better admin staff, which means management is even less effective at doing its job - including taking care of their employees. Many employee’s reviews/raises were backlogged by over a year. During my relatively short time there, I heard from at least 5 coworkers that they were promised raises/promotions and the company failed to deliver. They’re so frugal that many basic office amenities are nowhere to be found and the place looks so rundown that you’d be too embarrassed to bring in a client. Their software is so outdated that many employees keep paper records. A few more reasons I left: It’s a ~94% male work environment and you hear near-daily sexist and racist jokes (yes, management knows). There were 0 women in management while I worked there and they fired 2 of the 3 black employees (out of ~70 employees total). They also chastised an ex-employee for sharing their salary, which isn’t exactly legal. This place has an insane amount of turnover as of this past year and seems to be getting worse. If you care about your office environment and morale, about bringing great ideas to the table and seeing them through, or about working for a place that’s run well and takes care of all its employees, do not take a job here. However, if you’re apathetic about all the above, then this might be the right place for you.

Electronic Environments Response

To our former employee: we're genuinely sorry and saddened to see this, and only wish we'd been able to identify some of the challenges and frustrations you were feeling while you were here. As a small, but 30-year old firm, we know that not everyone's experience working with us can be perfect, but we can always find ways to improve, and we choose to see this feedback as an opportunity to learn and grow. Addressing a culture of micromanagement is difficult. We do have very high standards; it's the nature of our work and industry. We challenge our team to do their best and despite your experience being a negative one, we do push our more seasoned people to coach and direct those who are struggling to better meet those high standards. Our intention is not to micromanage, but to excel and deliver exceptional, detailed work. If you felt this was done poorly, or was a difficult environment to work in, we apologize. It really is unfortunate to see that a terrific group of team members who are extremely competent, loyal and dedicated to making this firm a great place to work were not able to help alleviate some of your frustrations. Lastly, it's extremely important to us to clarify that we are very proudly a multicultural firm, made up of intelligent, confident, technical and driven women and men from many diverse backgrounds. Our firm is committed to providing a healthy, safe and supportive work environment for all, across the board. But again, we are sorry for any difficulty you experienced while working here, and we 100% take your feedback seriously and will be reviewing it again in detail internally. Thank you again for your service and we wish you the best in your future.
