Pros

Work life balance Work from anywhere policy

Cons

All senior level engineers are absolutely checked out and just coasting until retirement. It's clear everyone has advanced through years with the company and not on merit. The company is incredibly slow to adapt. My first day I showed up to the office, a cubicle farm and was given outdated tech. They still supply wired keyboard and mouse and wired headsets. It was a warning sign of things to come. Saying the office environment is drab is too kind. They still employ full wall cubicles and closed door offices with no windows. Any company even remotely in tune with today's office culture left these behind 10-20 years ago. The work is slow and unrewarding at best. They work on bloated government contacts. I was routinely given 2-4 hours of work and told we have 40-80 hours budgeted so make sure you use it all

Pros

There is a heavy emphasis on work/life balance at SEH. They’re all in on their work from anywhere policy which is great for accommodating a busy personal schedule. The staff I’ve interacted with across different offices and states have all been great and senior staff and project managers carry a lot of knowledge. There’s a bunch of resources in-house for learning and development and recently there’s been a company wide push to update administrative/accounting software to make the average employee more efficient. In my humble opinion, I also think the pay is solid. Needless to say, there’s a lot to like!

Cons

Onboarding is confusing and left me with more questions than answers. I did not feel setup for success, administratively speaking. The supervisors are responsible for Human Resources tasks and there are a lot of information gaps after your first day. Plan to be proactive to find the resources or people necessary to answer questions about health insurance, the HSA, your first check, timesheet violations, etc. The health insurance can cost a pretty penny on the family plan. There’s whispers that they are reviewing this benefit, so to their credit they are at least listening to feedback.
