ENSCO, Inc.

Most of the people and managers are great people to work with, are highly intelligent, and self motivated. Work hours are flexible and teleworking is supported depending on the project you are working on. In my experience, the work is challenging, interesting, even fun, and usually pushes to people to learn new things.

The HQ facility is dated and needs updating, it is almost embarrassing to bring customers and business partners to but, on the plus side most people get their own office...no cubical farms! Some of the other locations I've seen are very nice and modern.

Anytime you work on government contracts there is a chance you can get laid off with little to no notice but, ENSCO does really try to find other work or somehow take care of folks if that happens.

Corporate leadership is very risk averse and slow to change or invest in existing or new programs. It seems as if most of the profits are taken by the owners (Family Owned Business yet none of the family members actually work here) and just a small percentage is returned to investing in the business, new projects, or internal R&D. 

Salaries are good, maybe a little above average, benefits are very good, however, bonuses are...really, really, low...insultingly low. My spouse actually laughed out loud and thought I was just reimbursed for local travel when it was deposited. And that was for a record profit year...

I have worked for ENSCO for as long as I have because it has provided everything I was looking for when I graduated from college: an engineering experience where I contribute to modern technological challenges (advanced sensors, automation, solar power systems, data processing techniques) in projects where I am involved and contribute in a meaningful way from beginning to end with coworkers that I respect and genuinely enjoy working with. The company is large enough to provide stability and job security with good benefits, while small enough that each person is critical to the success of the company. Projects vary enough to provide new challenges each time. ENSCO also provides significant growth opportunities for those who take the initiative.  

ENSCO is the best fit for those who are self-motivated.  Managers are respectful; employees are expected to ask questions when needed and to take the initiative to engage.

ENSCO has amazing heritage. It is well respected. Many people who work here have been here a long time. I'm talking 20 years. I don't think this will be the case forever, as the new generation isn't as prone to staying at one company for that long. But this culture of loyalty made for a comfortable environment, where many people sincerely cared about the company to a great degree. 

I have no idea what the company is like now. The president has retired and they moved one of the VPs into the president role. Which is a good thing. But I have no idea about changes he's making. 

While the company culture is mostly positive, benefits could've been updated. 

I really appreciate the supportive and growth-oriented culture at this company. Managers are approachable and genuinely invested in their employees' career paths, offering clear guidance and opportunities for advancement. The company also provides valuable training resources and education reimbursement, which shows a real commitment to professional development. There's a strong emphasis on work-life balance, which makes it easier to stay engaged and motivated. One of the things I find most impressive is how collaborative the environment is—employees across different teams are always willing to help out or answer questions, which creates a positive and inclusive atmosphere.

ENSCO has treated me very well. I left my prior employer to move to ENSCO as they won the follow on contract. I was provided with an increase in salary that I would have gotten had I stayed with my former employer, The increased my leave benefit and provided me with a great office. I'm doing wor way above my pay scale and I enjoy that very much. 

In my experience they take care of their people. I (blush) received a STAR Performer award recently. They do recognize excellence and also have dropped some people that weren't cutting it. I have a lot of respect for ENSCO.

Working at ENSCO has been an incredibly rewarding experience. From day one, I felt welcomed and supported. The company truly lives its values—encouraging innovation, fostering inclusivity, and prioritizing employee well-being. Leadership genuinely listens, and there’s a strong culture of respect and collaboration across all levels. I appreciate the work-life balance, flexible policies, and comprehensive benefits. ENSCO also recognizes hard work and provides opportunities for growth and development. 

A typical day at work:
Most days started with checking emails and handling employee inquiries, then meetings or project work. Very manageable pace.

Management:
Supportive and responsive. My manager trusted me to work independently.

Workplace culture:
Professional, respectful, and inclusive. Even as a remote employee, I felt connected and part of the team.

Hardest part:
Occasionally challenging to coordinate across time zones or get quick approvals, but nothing unmanageable.

Best part:
Helping employees and improving processes. Plus, the flexibility of remote work was a huge bonus.

Once I accepted the position at Ensco, I knew this was the perfect fit for me. My recruitment experience was better than any other organization. HR held events for employees to help build a successful and comfortable workplace culture. These events are innovative and worked great. 

The culture at Ensco is impressive. I was able to complete all of my assignments efficiently with a minimal amount of stress.

I can see myself being at Ensco for a long time.

I've been at ENSCO for 6 years. In that time, I have gotten very satisfying work, met people that are very good at their jobs and very committed to the mission, and have during this COVID time, been able to work seamlessly from home. We have fun, and it is a great culture. I came from "big" defense companies, and this is a refreshing change. It is also very inclusive - we have a great mix of talent and value our new employees. 

ENSCO in general is a good company, the issue is the department head was absolutely terrible. Staff were over worked and the department heads didn’t invest in additional Staff or resources to streamline the department, as a result staff were burnt out. 

eg engineering company who’s “innovating” but this department still uses paper files and ink signatures
