Pros

Company has a wide array of clients and projects. You'll definitely get to work on all kinds of things. Company also has good benefits.

Cons

Company claims to allow work from home flexibility, but doesn't mean it. You get lots of backhanded comments about not being in the office if you're not there five days a week. Work flow is completely unmanaged. Management doesn't care that everyone is overwhelmed. They just keep saying yes to any piece of work that comes through the door. Employees are burned out.

Pros

AEI is a steppingstone for your career. Projects cover a diverse range of markets. Each office location functions as a different company. On my last day a colleague said: "AEI's lack of organization is both its greatest strength and its greatest weakness."

Cons

I was reading through other reviews and "Dysfunctional Family" really nails it. Leadership chases rejected plan reviews around the country yet does nothing to get the more competent/motivated people in place to maximize project success. It's not what you know, it's who you know. I was on a large project that started off with serious issues born from incompetence/laziness. The project engineer and I brought the issues to principal leadership but they ended up doing nothing. Eventually I did receive an apology from leadership. Although, when I need to engage leadership I expect action, not apologies. Later, when we brought the issues to the employee's direct supervisor instead, he admonished us for not bringing him the issues sooner. The employee had already been given a good raise by then. HR is awful, too. They have been running on a skeleton crew for the better part of the last decade.

Pros

You get to work with great people and good Engineers. You work on great projects and some benefits are great. You are given Opportunities to work remote.

Cons

Team leads are not the best at giving direction. Also if you aren’t liked is best you go somewhere else. You will be forced to leave if you aren’t needed and they find any excuse and the environment is passive aggressive.
