Thank you for taking the time to review our company. We’re disappointed to hear that you had a negative experience while employed at Rimkus, as that’s the opposite of our desired outcome for any employee. Rimkus has a professional reputation for upholding the highest ethical standards, and we take your comments to the contrary seriously. Additionally, we strive for a work environment where all employees feel supported, valued, and heard. We know our employees have a choice when deciding where to work, and we aim to create a professional environment that offers a supportive management team, innovative tools and technology, and competitive pay and benefits. To allow our employees to provide us with honest feedback, we conduct yearly anonymous surveys regarding all aspects of employment with Rimkus—and we listen carefully to the results. For example, we recently improved our Paid Time Off policy to be more in line with industry/market standards and to better fit the needs of our team members. Likewise, the tools and technology we offer our employees are, in fact, cutting-edge and as up to date as what is currently available on the marketplace. Aspects of the employment experience you described do not fit with our standards, and we would be interested in hearing more about your time with Rimkus. If you are available to speak to us further, please email Rimkus VP, Human Resources, Bill Santaiti, at bgs@rimkus.com. We wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.

Pros

They pay bus development managers above average

Cons

I was hired for business development but was set up to fail. I was asked to tell customers we provide full-service engineering in South Florida, even though we didn’t have the staff, no electrical engineer and no Threshold Engineer, needed for the work. Many structural projects in the area require a Threshold Engineer, yet I was told to mislead clients about our capabilities. Immediately after starting, I learned my manager was interviewing. The company operates on a shoestring budget. There is no money to sponsor customer events or trade shows outside the Northeast, where they’ve acquired two engineering firms in the past five years. The BES division is barely surviving, while Forensics is doing well, but overall, lack of resources and poor planning make it very hard to succeed here, especially when your boss is vigorously interviewing to leave.
