Good company - Anonymous employee Longent Employee Review

This job was my first professional engineering experience, and in the short time I was there, I was able to learn so much. You get involved at every part of the engineering process from design, installation, benchmark testing to trouble shooting which cannot be said for many internships/co ops. The full-time engineers are very knowledgeable and were a pleasure to work with and learn from.

Some projects can require weeks/months to work on, which can be exhausting. You are also required to travel sometimes with very little notice.

-Great co-workers. Most people in the company get along very well. -Everyone is willing to teach. There's no fear to asking questions. -Tons of opportunities to learn. You will get exposure to almost everything in the business. -Opportunities to travel and see cool places. Longent does business all over the country, particularly in the southeast. This will give you the chance to travel to a variety of customer sites (which means you won't be sitting in an office 100% of the time). This includes office buildings, hospitals, arenas, stadiums, etc. -You will get to use some high-tech equipment for testing. For example: the latest phones, RF scanners, spectrum analyzers, signal generators, etc.

Traveling is part of the business. Although you likely won't travel a ton as a Co-op, you should be ready to travel and go in the field from time to time.
