New Parent Company is NOT Employee Supportive - Engineer KOA Employee Review

A very well reputed and established company so no worries about job insecurities. Management is well organized. New management is even better. Very humble and approachable and listener. They are all about supporting and developing employees if they find the person wanting to grow. I got many many opportunities and promoted several times. Provided me tons of training opportunities. I would partner with them on future projects for sure. During COVID there were minimal social events but now they are trying their level best to introduce few which is great. I personally know couple of people who started here as an intern and became VP/MD within 10 years. This tells a lot. I wish i stayed with them :( ... The other opportunity is just something different i wanted to do or else there was no way i was leaving.

May be they might wanna establish a separate neutral HR department starting with 2 new hirees; one may be a director other assistant. I worked in a previous firm and they did just that and from there on they kept growing. This would relieve the work load on upper management who is currently ad-hocing it.

•Great place to learn design and get good with AutoCAD if you are still practicing. •Company meetings are full of good food. If you like being behind a desk for most of the time then this is for you. •They will work great with your schedule if you are an intern •Good mid-size company if all you want to do is design and maybe some little field work measuring how far traffic signs are from curves and such.

•The atmosphere is dead. •I feel a 60K starting salary would be way too low for you entry levels. •Personally do not like being behind a desk for 10 hours a day. •I was getting my designs back a lot for revisions and turned out sometimes they were not even mistakes but my superior THOUGHT they were.
