"Thankful for the job but thoroughly disappointed by leadership there."
What do you like about working at Avalex Technologies?
"The pay is the only thing remotely attractive. Other than that it's an absolutely dreadful experience based in over-laiden schedules, ridiculous deadlines, and public attacks on you, your team and your coworkers by management."
Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?
"If you're interviewing with Avalex, don't.... Just run, it's a waste of time and you will find your experience thoroughly disappointing. Promises of promotions, opportunity, and role-expansion are all false-- and made just to get you in the door and working what will no doubt amount to be countless - salary - based hours of overtime with no thanks, appreciation, or commendation. You get nothing more than a paycheck and some medical benefits, no reward of a job well done since most projects end in disaster or derailment."
What don't you like about working at Avalex Technologies?
"The gossip, the big talk-little action management, and lack of a clear/defined path in the organization. There is no plan, and it's pretty much 'every man for himself'."
What suggestions do you have for management?
"Start trusting your leaders. Treat your employees with respect, especially when they sacrifice personally for the company. Try to better yourself as a leader instead of belittling and attacking your employees when projects aren't to your level of satisfaction. Learn how to motivate through inspiring your team instead of through fear and terroristic tactics."

"It was a challenging but necessary career step."
What do you like about working at BluePrint Automation?
"I enjoyed the opportunity for travel, the professionalism of my immediate peers, and the open door policy. I cherished the satisfaction garnered from contributing to the success of the end product."
Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?
"As with any job interview, I would recommend extensive research and a healthy gut check. Contact current and former employees, customers, vendors, and peers in the region for candid insight. Ask about why a position is available and what kind of person they are looking for to fill it. Negotiate from the understanding that the corporate structure is currently flat, raises of 1-2% were common place, and overtime was expected."
What don't you like about working at BluePrint Automation?
"I was disappointed by the interdepartmental infighting, the anemic corporate culture, and the lack of employee growth opportunities. Haphazard scheduling, inefficient processes, and the lack of accountability tarnished far too many projects."
What suggestions do you have for management?
"I would suggest an extensive overhaul of all personnel, policies and procedures with the explicit goal of preserving talent, growing culture, and eliminating waste. I would encourage management to facility their expectations of productivity and flexibility by investing in productivity enhancing infrastructure, and promoting flexible work policies. I would further suggest that sales, applications and project management be incentivized for accountability and overall project success. Finally, I would implore management to recognize fear, opacity and overbearance as ineffective and deprecating tools."
