A Disappointing Experience - Designer Ardebili Engineering Employee Review

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Upon review, this post closely mirrors a recent submission and appears to come from a former employee, based on specific language and sentiments that were frequently expressed during their time here. While we value all feedback, it's important to clarify that Ardebili Engineering made every effort to support this individual throughout their employment. When concerns were raised or help was requested, we exhausted all available resources to accommodate and assist them. However, despite our efforts, the situation did not improve, and ultimately, we made no further attempts to retain them, as it became clear the relationship was no longer mutually beneficial. We agree wholeheartedly that respect, transparency, and employee development are core to a strong organization. Respect, however, must go both ways. When an employee routinely calls out with little notice or informs the team of appointments at the last minute—leaving others to cover their responsibilities—it disrupts operations and undermines the respect we strive to show each other daily. Transparency is a key value at Ardebili Engineering. Our leadership consistently communicates company initiatives, operational updates, and even financial information to ensure all team members feel included and informed. To claim a lack of transparency while offering minimal feedback during employment feels disingenuous and contrary to our experience with this individual. Lastly, employee development is one of our proudest commitments. We've hired and mentored individuals with little to no prior experience, investing substantial time and resources into their professional growth. From one-on-one mentorship with licensed engineers to weekly lunch-and-learns and hands-on project involvement, we've cultivated an environment that prioritizes learning and long-term career development. To see those efforts dismissed in this manner is disheartening to the many people here who contribute to that mission. We won’t be commenting further on this matter, but we remain focused on maintaining a positive, respectful, and growth-oriented work environment. We’re proud of the team we’ve built and grateful for the many current and former employees who recognize and uphold these values.
