Pros

Strong culture of employee-ownership. Good people, good employees. Leadership generally does a good job of providing updates on company strategy and financials every quarter.

Cons

SEH strongly embraces WFH. This could be a pro or a con depending on how you look at it.

Pros

Most employees are good people

Cons

Company is structured like a caste system. Order of importance is 1) male engineers, 2) male other, 3) female engineers; 4) all other females. Company offers what seem to be great benefits until you read the fine print. The company is run by micromanagers. The company has more rules and regulations than the IRS. Beware.

Pros

Most people are great to work with even outside your area of pratice. There are several amazing senior engineers who genuinely care about your development and growth.

Cons

Leadership is a good old boys club and does not treat women equally to their male equivalent counterparts. Extreme nepotism occurs between RPCLs and their direct reports. If you're a woman, there are better places that support you whereas this company will treat you like a woman with outlandish assumptions of women characteristics such as "you're too sensitive" or "why have children if you can't hold a job and take care of them". The company could be great if they would cut the ties with one regional leader who cannot manage effectively and hopes problems will solve themselves. This translates into more than 50 percent turnover in the last 5 years. And if you're a woman in that region, best of luck.
