Why Work At Ea
Where the best belong
Enterprise Automation is the place for lifelong learners, team players, and problem solvers. In our peer review culture, good ideas take precedence over seniority. We don’t play status games or pull rank. We consider it our responsibility to produce excellent work collaboratively and to root for each other.
Recognized as a top workplace for 7 consecutive years
Learning & development
EA employees are driven to learn new things, and we support them through:
- Lunch & Learns
- Shadowing opportunities
- Internal and external trainings
- Continuing education programs
- Professional certification reimbursements
Mentorship
By design, the EA team is assembled of like-minded people who enjoy spending time with each other. Our 1-on-1 mentorship program is meant to grease the wheels and foster these genuine connections between new hires and experienced mentors who serve as company culture ambassadors.
This program helps mentees grow both in their skills and as individuals while rewarding mentors with the experience of developing their leadership and coaching skills.
Career advancement
We are proud of the fact that we hire top performers and put them in an environment where they grow to their fullest potential. We give our employees autonomy, empower them with opportunities to take on additional responsibility, and provide clear performance expectations.
As a company tradition, all employees give a Master’s Presentation as part of the promotion process. These presentations cover a wide range of topics from graphic design principles to learning strategies to ultrafiltration automation. The presentation is a milestone event for these individuals to show expertise in their field and transfer knowledge to the rest of the team.
Flexibility
As an office first workplace, we cultivate and maintain a high-trust culture because employees can be expected to manage their time effectively. Core office hours are between 8AM and 6PM in regional time zones.
With that in mind, employees also have some flexibility in start and end times and the breathing room to take the doctor’s appointment or enjoy a longer lunch to play volleyball. We remain an office first workplace but alternative hybrid or remote arrangements remain an open conversation among employees, supervisors, and leadership. EA aims to provide employees flexibility whenever possible.
Work/Life balance
We believe the achievement of excellence is only possible when employees have the bandwidth to thrive inside and outside the workplace. An environment of burnout and overwork would be a threat to our clients and employees that we proactively try to avoid.
On average, staff log approximately 43 hours per week. Heavier weeks can occur when there is a need for travel, project deployment, or emergency support.
Our policies promote rest and recovery, prioritizing the sustainability of our staff’s high performance and positive outlook.
Fitness
Whether through EA-sponsored sports events and pickup games, employees enjoy plenty of opportunities to move and get active. Employees at the Irvine office can hit the in-office gym or attend the twice-weekly group fitness class.
Events
The EA team enjoys spending time together, so we create lots of opportunities for them to connect outside the office.
Our employee appreciation dinner is a yearly highlight. To show our gratitude to employees, EA holds a special evening for employees and their plus-ones to celebrate and connect with their colleagues. In the summers, EA also hosts a company picnic for employees and their families to enjoy a day of activities, games, and food.
Enterprise Automation University
Enterprise Automation University (EAU) is a 5-week, fully paid training program designed to deliver technical and cultural education for newly hired engineers. Non-technical hires also participate in portions of EAU to learn more about EA’s internal processes, methodologies, and communication techniques.
Engineering training focuses on industry best practices and includes lessons in IT/OT infrastructure, PLC programming, and HMI design. EAU culminates with students working alongside each other and experienced team members to produce a fully functional, small-scale reservoir control system.
