Culture of Intimidation. Two owners think they know everything. - Anonymous employee NuWaves Engineering Employee Review

Great small business atmosphere. As a veteran-owned business, we are an extremely patriotic company. The opportunities for growth at NuWaves are vast – much better than I experienced with larger corporations. Put, NuWaves measures success in both business results and employees’ personal and professional growth.

NuWaves is not a fit for everyone. It is a fast-paced environment and results are demanded. Directors, project managers, and higher-level engineers are expected to contribute to the business development process. Those with a “that’s not my job!” attitude will not fit NuWaves’ culture.

Approachable staff, Casual work environment, Interesting group of people to work with. Excellent place to work with a variety of unique RF design and testing problems. Company is making great efforts to continuously improve their design processes and communications. Upper management is making great strides in reducing inefficiencies in business processes. They are also making a fantastic effort at transitioning from a small to medium business and making sure certain things are lost in the transition. I expect significant growth of the business in the next few years. Recent training efforts are a fantastic step forward in improving employee skill sets. CEO is more approachable than he first seems Hard to get bored

Lower than industry average pay, Project Managers have a lot of control over labor planning which can create some interesting dynamics and a more short sided view of training efforts. There is an expectation of quick turn on projects without much buffer built in. This leads many support engineers and design engineers to put many hours in order to make up for lost time on the schedule. Occasionally cost cutting measures in certain overhead areas wind up costing more in the long run. Renting test equipment instead of purchasing, push-back on certain overhead items. Though I also believe this area has very recently been recognized and an effort has been made to improve in that area.
