Good pay Stupid Company - Material Coordinator ZAP Engineering Employee Review

ZAP is a good place to work if you’re willing to work hard, learn quickly, and take ownership for your work. I’ve seen employees commit to ideas or new projects and leadership support them in the pursuit.

You need to be a self starter and self learner to succeed. ZAP isn’t going to tell you how to do everything. You’ll need to be motivated to learn and work hard to be successful here.

- Competitive pay, good PTO allowance. - Varied projects, some big and some small. - Good place for young engineers to gain experience and responsibilities fast.

- High turnover with many employees spending a year or two, then leaving once they realize the morale is low and company culture toxic. This results in a large group of young engineers and designers who get thrown to the wolves with no training and zero mentoring and end up leaving. - IT is a disaster and company is stuck in 2010. MS Teams is disabled for some employees. All drawings are reviewed on paper because management does not want to use Bluebeam. Conference room equipment is outdated. Most engineers and designers have desktop computers with cheap slow Chromebooks for remote access. Everything on servers makes working while travelling to site very slow and frustrating. - Constant chaos on fast-tracked projects that are budgeted on a shoe string. Large EPC projects inevitably end in contentious fights with client and contractors due to substandard contract management practices, and upper management who are all engineers but like to pretend they are legal experts.
