Pros
Skills you learn at Rajant will help you get a better job elsewhere
Kontras
Do not work out of the Kentucky office, period. To begin, management fights among themselves while ignoring feedback from engineers. They never recognize work done by Morehead engineers and management usually takes credit for anything done. You will be saddled with responsibilities outside your job description with no guidance. You will be expected to just figure things out. Inside the Morehead office you will find a toxic masculine workplace culture that favors retaliation and groupThink over individual contributions. You will face retaliation for doing well if the group thinks it might make them look bad. You will face retaliation for going against norms and the groupThink. And if you don't go with the flow you will be called lazy regardless of your contributions and blamed for problems when they arise. This is allowed to happen because 95% of all engineers there are new hires directly out of college, with no idea or guidance on how to act professionally in the workplace. Nothing will get better until full-time on-site project managers exist for the development, support and R&D teams. Engineers are never offered raises even when saddled with additional responsibilities. In cases where justified raises are asked for, excuses are always given while individuals that work at any other office receive yearly raises. You will be paid below market rate unless you negotiate a high salary at time of initial offer acceptance. (Just a heads up) If you are offered this job just after graduation, try to look for a better offer elsewhere. This company wants to trap recent graduates who have never had a real job. They only care about the total number of employees they have in Kentucky, not about any of the individual employees. Once they have you and you settle down they bet you'll never leave. Rajant will keep paying you below market rate until you get fed-up and leave, or give up. There are so many better opportunities in the commonwealth of Kentucky for young graduates, you can do better. I want this place to do well, I was deeply saddened to leave and am now seeing others do the same after things never got better.
