Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

Employees share in company value: Felix's employee stock ownership plan adds an ownership-based retirement benefit.
Safety credentials are built in: Felix gives all employees 10-hour occupational safety training and supervisors and managers 30-hour certification.
Phoenix craft workers stay local: Felix's full-time water/wastewater crew posting promises no overnight travel and being home every night.

What critics are saying

Medical coverage has a 60-day new-hire wait: Felix lists reimbursement for continuation insurance during that period.

Felix tests complete panels before shipping: factory acceptance testing demonstrates every device and circuit at its Phoenix facility.
Felix has long-running design-build experience: it has paired engineers and contractors under that delivery method since 2000.
