I'd avoid if possible, If not don't expect a good work/life balance or competitive pay/benefits - Design Engineer Triumph Group Employee Review

Employee wages don't reflect their contributions, and I didn't receive a raise until my last year there. The company used to offer more competitive salaries to attract talent to Park City, but now they are comparable or less than similar opportunities in the valley. In my opinion, poor management and a lack of retention of knowledge and talent put the company in a precarious position on numerous projects. Although there seemed to be an effort to correct course initially, ultimately, they are continuing to make similar mistakes. There appears to have been an abundance of talent in the past, but the company failed to retain that design knowledge. Consequently, it feels like they're blindly recycling ideas from previous projects without the underlying design insights, which has caused issues on several programs. The work-life balance is poor, and the culture toxic. There's a pervasive mentality of 'never enough time to do it right in the first place, but always enough time to do it over.' Employees are expected to fill this gap without additional incentives, aside from occasional pizza parties. Moreover, the company conducts sweeping layoffs while claiming to be actively hiring, placing the burden of additional work on remaining staff. Essentially, employees are expected to work 50+ hours without adequate acknowledgment for their efforts. The notion of 'work hard, play hard' turned out to be misleading. I heard that phrase so many times. What they meant was the employees play hard on the weekends (outdoor hobbies are common in Utah). But there's inflexibility regarding time off, core hours, and remote work, with an expectation of long hours. Even during whatever few lulls in projects there were. Despite Park City's allure, the higher-ups seem delusional about its challenges. Suggestions to improve competitiveness on pay, establish a Salt Lake City location, or allow remote work were dismissed. I was told when I brought this up during skip level meetings, 'Well, I love living here and wouldn't have come if it weren't for Park City!' This fails to acknowledge the affordability and housing challenges for employees below executive levels. Commuting from SLC or Heber is time-consuming and, at times, dangerous, particularly during snowstorms and ski-tourist season. The company maintains an old-school mentality without providing corresponding benefits or career opportunities. Furthermore, there's a culture of backhanded, judgmental comments when using PTO. While the company adopted unlimited PTO ostensibly to cut costs, employees were made to feel guilty about using it.
