Pros

Steady paycheque and standard benefits

Cons

I worked at Obsidian in a senior role. My main frustration was that the team was heavily weighted toward junior staff with very little senior technical oversight. In my experience this directly affected work quality. Seniors spent much of their time catching and correcting basic errors rather than doing senior level work. There was little structured mentorship or training to close the gap. Quality control depends on a few overstretched senior people, and there is limited career development structure. If you are experienced, expect to carry more than your share. If you are junior, you may struggle without guidance.

Pros

Nothing positive to say about management and business practices, specifically the drafting manager. However, I did find most of the typical non-management staff to be great.

Cons

In my experience, the Drafting Manager created a toxic work environment. As well, staff employees (not contractors) were given very few paid hours, something unheard of for myself. This, combined with what I believe to have been an environment of poor communication and a lack of professionalism made this the worst place I've ever worked, by far. I would not recommend this company to anyone considering a drafting position. I was hoping for a serious and professional environment, but unfortunately in my opinion it was a desperate atmosphere.
