Pros

Coworkers were really nice, it was fun to be able to use some cutting edge software for geo-spatial analysis and data management. The Christmas party's were usually extravagant and fun.

Cons

Just like the Titanic, this company is a sunk ship; there are less than a handful of employees left and more than a handful of people and companies who would like to sue. The company used to have potential, now there is none. Look up and contact former employees on LinkedIn if you want additional feedback. The management has no clue what transpires on a day to day basis as they are all holed away in the New Hope PA office, which was only created because the CEO couldn't face his employees after breaking promises he never intended to keep. In a company with less than ten people, one would think that there would be no need to have two large office spaces, especially one in a resort town where real estate is at a prime, and that the money could be better spent elsewhere. However, instead of focusing on the important things, like the employees who's talent makes the company money or developing new hardware/software to stay competitive, the upper management focuses on how they can improve their lifestyle while wringing every last drop of productivity out of the remaining employees. This company was in bankruptcy once due to mismanagement and it is headed back there at warp speed (they're heading there so fast they've gone to plaid). The cutting edge technology and advancement was replaced with a sweatshop type production line of technician paid engineers cranking out LiDAR models and reports; all the while being led along by a salesman who promises the moon over the phone. Now there are less than a handful of people who are just struggling along until the eventual end. There once was a set of values, established in the early stages of the company by a few great consultants; those values went out the window faster than Superman can change into his suit and cape. The lower level employees lived them while the upper management continues to do the opposite. There was no work/life balance, there was only a work/work balance; the employees were all asked to work nights, weekends and holidays, when it came time for raises and bonuses, there were none. One year there was barely a COLA and no bonus, the next was COLA or raises and a super sub-par bonus.

This company disgusts me

Pros

Good experience, the non-management staff are among the best group of people I have ever had the opportunity to work with.

Cons

You will be working 20+ hour days to meet unrealistic deadlines, management is a joke, layoffs galore, poor pay. Look for yourself and read no further past the next sentence. As one reviewer said, go to LinkedIn, and ask other former and current employees. To give you an idea of how this company operates, rumor has it that there are 4 employees left (down from 50 or 60). If you look at all of the good reviews of the company on this site, you will see 4 reviews all within days of each other. Now that employee count may or may not be slightly out of date but ask anyone who has connections to those still there and they will tell you the company is tiny now. Maybe it will balloon again, but I would not count on it remaining of any size given the hire and layoff cycle that this company almost seems to pride itself on. I also have a difficult time believing it will become a larger company again, at least in Vermont, because it's reputation precedes it among those they used to hire most, locals just out of college. Vermont is a small state and word travels fast. Management clearly did not anticipate this. The bottom line is that no matter how convincing management is about how they care about you and care about the company "values", ultimately the only care is to make money by driving staff too hard and stabbing hard working employees in the back.

Pros

Company - Over several years at URMC the work has constantly been exciting and challenging as well as being unique. The technology URMC applies has developed significantly through both the industry's and URMC's advances. The applications of this technology and business strategies at URMC have constantly evolved due to changes in regulations and opportunities in the energy market. Being able to understand these changes and discover different and unique market opportunities is what has made URMC successful in the past and will continue to give URMC success in the future. Compensation & Benefits - Salaries have and continue to be fair and competitive at all levels. The benefit package provided to all employees is very comprehensive and shows a concern and understanding to life outside of work. The Culture and Work/Life Balance at URMC has been one of my favorite aspects. URMC has developed a culture that is easy and fun to work in while still allowing employees to be efficient contributors. The Work/Life Balance has allowed many employees to pursue outside interests to their full extent.

Cons

As referenced in the Pros section, URMC's applications and business strategies have evolved throughout its existence. While this has created many successful business opportunities for the company, it has also caused the company to grow and shrink in employee size (sometimes rapidly) to meet demands. In the past, this has caused employees to be let go for non-performance related reasons and has caused added stress to management on all levels. Unpredictable growth and shrinkage has caused employees to have doubts on job security. Senior management understood this concern and would take into consideration during business decisions. Several of the employees hired to the sales team did not meet their expectations.
