Unprofessional Experience
The reviewed company was hired to conduct an evaluation for a condo association, but the experience was marred by unprofessionalism. The engineer's lack of interest in the problem and hasty departure after a cursory review raised concerns about the company's ability to provide a fair analysis.
Lack of Thoroughness
The reviewer expressed disappointment with the engineer's hurried approach, spending only 6-7 minutes on the evaluation. This perceived lack of thoroughness undermines confidence in the company's ability to provide a reliable assessment.
Negative Impression
The overall experience left a sour taste, with the reviewer warning others to be cautious when considering this company for their services. The company's reputation suffered as a result of this unprofessional encounter.
