Avantages
Good, caring people who work well together. Company once had a positive repetition with client base as a "go to company" when needing technical solutions fast. A-team engineering.
Inconvénients
Company was originally Albert Garaudy & Associates started 1990 out of Metairie, LA (New Orleans). Over the years it thrived on simple principals, treat your employees and clients like family. Employees stayed (up to 20 plus years) and clients continued to call on them for engineering services. They were recognized numerous times as one the best places to work in New Orleans, LA. Company held events (crawfish boils, HH, family picnics, bowling parties, etc). Opened offices in Houston, Mississippi and then Nigeria.
Company lost its way once it was acquired by two different Dutch corporations 2007 - 2010 & 2010 - to present. No longer have offices in Mississippi, Nigeria and recently as of March 2017 the Metairie, LA office has sadly closed the doors where it all started 27 years ago. Houston still remains. Only as a shell of it once was.
