      More of a Revolving Door than a Company

      Pros

      You can work on a lot of different projects, that can vary greatly in technologies. Maybe in 10 years the company will be a good enough one to work for. There's a nice park down the street...

      Cons

      Prepare to be treated as a body any nothing more. Leave your experience and knowledge at the door, because they don't care. Experience? Masters degrees? You won't be using any of that here. You will be drawing a lot of shapes in AutoCAD though. Also, get comfortable, because you'll be staying late, every day, forever. Well, that is until you realize what the company is really like and then leave. In 2016 alone +50% of the design group quit throughout the course of the year. We're talking +30 people here. That should tell you a few things. If you look at the reviews on this site, you see a very consistent story from the design positions. If you want to read the most accurate and eloquent depiction of the company on this site, read the review titled "This company needs a therapist." from this past summer. They go in detail to explain the fundamental structural issues with the company, and why you should stay clear.

      Pros

      Company has a wonderful product to offer and has strong contacts that keeps most of them coming back for future work. Overall young workforce that tries to help one another.

      Cons

      The CFO has very poor communication skills and has a hard time relating to people in his own department and throughout the company. Upper level management expects their employees to work long hours and has been very slow to implement a software system that is easy to use. The CFO and CEO are not respected.

      Thank you for your feedback. I agree, we do have a wonderful product to offer. As the company continues to grow and expand, we have discovered new avenues of sharing information to all of our employees globally. Likewise, we recognize that our employees knowledge and insight are incredibly important. (We have incredibly talented, best-in-class employees!) Hence, we have provided our employees with more touch points to share their knowledge and gather information by including employee feedback surveys, lunch and learns, web meetings, communication boards, live video presentations and much more. If you have any other suggestions, I would be happy to have a discussion with you. Thank You, Mia

      Potential to be a great company but falls short! Very short.

      Pros

      The very best thing about working at Tait is the employees. The staff is talented, young, fun, smart and engaged. The physical environment is nice with interesting, although crowded, work-spaces and a heated and cooled shop.

      Cons

      I was employed by Tait for several years and unfortunately the company grew too quickly for upper management to keep up. They have never had the understanding that the employees are their biggest and most important asset. Therefore, the staff is treated poorly. The HR department is abysmal and, as a result, they do not advocate for the employees. My advice to you - please do your research, talk to people, get EVERYTHING in writing, read the reviews with the understanding that the positive ones were written my a member of the executive team in an attempt to discount the negative reviews. Remember, things are not always as they seem. In most cases you will not be meeting rock stars or attending shows. Instead you will experience a poor work/life balance and little reward for your efforts. Again, DO YOUR RESEARCH - the high turnover rate is very telling.
