Technical Editor at Coastal Environments
in La Jolla, CA

What do you like about working at Coastal Environments?

"I like having flexible hours, being able to walk to work, and working in a beautiful community"

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"This can be a fun place to work if you're interested in what the company does. The boss however is a little bit rigid and tyrannical so don't apply if you like to have your input respected!"

What don't you like about working at Coastal Environments?

"The work is completely uncreative; the writing style is drier than a doornail. Creativity is actively discouraged. The boss is a bit of a tyrant. The goals of the company and my own personal goals are completely unrelated. To make matters worse, I don't earn enough money to get by nor do I have health insurance paid for by the company."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Hold staff meetings at least once a month and show employees that their input is valuable, perhaps giving bonuses when the firm gets a new contract"

Please give us a one liner to describe this review.

"Glorified temp agency."

What do you like about working at Lockheed Martin?

Technical Editor at Innovatia
in Louisdale, NS

What do you like about working at Innovatia?

"I loved the work. The people were fantastic. When I wanted to move up to Editor, my team lead was more than happy to help me out and in no time I was an Editor. I gained a lot of great experience and made some life long friendships."

What don't you like about working at Innovatia?

"When I left it was because of the way I was treated towards the end. For the last 4 months I was there, I felt like I was being disrespected. I was not given straight answers to very simple questions. I felt like I was being given the runaround. People were becoming permanent while I was still a contractor, but I had much more experience and was with the company longer than some of the people who became permanent. When I asked for an explanation, I was not given one. Just told that it was a numbers issue. I got the same response when I did not get one of the Information Architect positions. Instead of explaning what I still needed for the position, I was told that it was a numbers issue and that they took 3 instead of 4. They did not help me by explaining what I could work on for next time. I was treated unfairly towards the end and that is why I left."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"I gave my suggestions when I left the company."
