Insane workload is not worth the compensation - Structural Engineer DeSimone Consulting Engineers Employee Review

It’s been a positive experience with all the interesting tasks, projects, and interactions. There are a lot of talented engineers and professionals who care about supporting each other when deadlines pile up. I’ve also had network-building opportunities, which will definitely be helpful in my future career.

Strict deadlines can be overwhelming, but that’s largely part of the industry and not unique to this company.

There's nothing to enjoy about working

If you're thinking about applying for a position at DeSimone, you should probably reconsider. The company is a dysfunctional mess, and it's run by incompetent clowns who only care about themselves. They make a lot of terrible decisions and keep making them because of their lack of accountability. Employees are constantly exhausted because of their unreasonable demands; our work-life balance is terrible because of their high expectations. Support is practically nonexistent; whenever we encounter any problems, leadership doesn't take action and leaves it to us to figure things out all by ourselves. Training is also lackluster; management only bothers to do the bare minimum, and they can't even be bothered to answer any of your questions. Besides the terrible leadership and lack of support, employees are also unfairly compensated. The salary we're paid doesn't match our workloads at all, and none of our hard work is ever acknowledged, much less rewarded. We don't receive any benefits either, and we're tossed aside without a second thought if it means the company can generate a bit more profit.
