RoviSys

I have been at RoviSys for about a year now, but have been exposed to a great deal of experiences. The company does a poor job at explaining the extent of travel and compensation prior to becoming an employee. I was told that it would be benefit me to live close to one of their offices, but within 1 week of starting found myself traveling on-site (20+ hours a week of traveling). There is no overtime, and you will be working (not include travel time, because you will never be compensated for that either) at least 50 hours a week. 

There is significant variation in the work/life balance depending on the project and manager you have, but I have noticed for the office I am located in that if you are staffed onsite (which most people are), you will find yourself with little time outside of work.

The environment is fast-paced and the company gives ample opportunities to learn, but the company itself does a poor job of preparing you for the work you will be expected to do for the client.

Officially, RoviSys has flex time. Which means if you work 10 hours Monday then you can leave two hours early on Friday. But some people feel that this 'perk' is somewhat discouraged by upper management. Unlimited sick time and personal time (PT= time to go to the doctor's office, get an oil change, etc.) is GREAT! But this perk is offset by a poor and discouraging vacation policy: 2 weeks of vacation is all you get for the first 5 years with the company. Then you get a third week off. Then in another 5 years, you get 2 more days off! And 5 years after that you are awarded 2 more days. The staff is friendly and they will typically work with you to develop your career the way you want to. But that also depends on which group manager you are assigned.

For a young engineer, it's a good place to learn about automation. There is a decent variety of projects and platforms to learn from and gain experience in. Management is pretty low key which is good because there isn't a lot of politics or bureaucracy. The nice part about the job was the support of the colleagues I received throughout the years. The opportunity for travel is there as well - which is a good way to gain experience in different cultures and environments. I grew a lot in this environment, both personally and professionally. The company is growing now some of the culture of being a small company is going away, but hopefully they will retain the fun work environment (i.e joking with colleagues, off-site organized group activities, etc). However, compensation can be improved.

As an Intern, a typical day at work is going to the office and sitting down with my team. I usually went to a few different engineers looking for task to work on. Any of the engineers were happy to answer any of my questions even if it didn't pertain to their work. Management works hard to provide a positive work environment and they succeed at doing so. The hardest part of the job is customer communication. The most enjoyable part is the RoviSys team and the people I got to work with. The company gave me many opportunities to learn and grow as an engineer. As well as provides opportunities for growth within the company.

RoviSys is always growing, even during Pandemic, and that means challenges, opportunities to learn and new leadership positions.  Diversity of customers and selling from plant floor Operations, to Information Collection and Analytics keeps the job interesting and never a lull in business. 

Can be stressful, but a lot of flexibility in hours and a fun work environment make it easy to bear. Play hard, too and often sponsor parties, free lunches and events to blow off steam.

Fun, challenging and rewarding place to work.

Get trained on a few projects and then move on to a better company. They work you to death, even though your only supposed to travel “up-to” 25% of the time, they will keep you on-site for years. If you try to address it professionally, the managers (frat boy boys club) take it very personally and reflects in you bonus. Horrible culture. Insecure betas run this place and spend time distancing owners from
The ongoing sand keep the owners oblivious to the management’s incompetence. 

You are expendable and replaceable. Get trained and run away. Keep your options open always. 

This place sells itself with the tag line "Work hard, Play hard"
That basically equates to tons of overtime with no compensation (you are a salary employee and salary employees don't get overtime)

There is also a toxic work culture that is centered around being in favor with management in order secure a promotion. 

They are a Microsoft shop and most of the work they do is tedious and repetitive .NET web development for manufacturers.

Office is grey on grey on grey (think Office Space)

Overall very happy with working here. A lot of your success comes from the division you’re in and the relationships you build/establish. You either buy into it all or you don’t this entails the company culture, the work you’re doing, and how you interact with customers/co-workers… management sees this… I will say pay and benefits are painfully average, but I enjoy the company, culture, and people I work with enough to have that trade off. I would recommend working here to anyone! 

A lot of projects, so you will never be out of work. Sometimes you have to work on a few projects at a time which can become overwhelming. Work is challenging , but it helps you learn and grow. Group manager could have been more supportive . Never had time to help me grow. Most of the time I relied on myself. 

Pretty relaxed environment. Super friendly office with a great culture. Great managers. Just a great group of people overall. The work is also across multiple different industries so you learn about controls in different types of settings and the task can be both challenging and varied in the skillset required.
