Great company - Anonymous employee Smithers Group Employee Review

The employees and work culture were very inclusive and gave me a chance to get involved in projects beyond my role.

I did not find any specific downside to my experience.

There were a few nice coworkers that genuinely wanted to make things better, but that can’t outweigh the cons.

Benefits are lacking, especially not a competitive PTO policy. Overall the culture is very much as though everyone is on pins and needles just looking out for their own self-interest, so there’s very little genuine team support. It’s a privately owned company and management makes no pretense about their utter lack of transparency. One minute they’re talking about how strong the pipeline is and the next they’re laying off >10% of the division. Not to mention that they’re not up front in the hiring process about requirements to be on-call after hours.
