Pros

1. Job security (tower engineering function is yet to be overtaken by AI) 2. Safe work environment

Cons

1. Non-competitive pay for civil/structural engineers considering volume of work and responsibility. 2. Few growth paths (most growth paths are lateral) 3. Engineering function is treated as a necessary evil instead of the business critical function it is. 4. Long work hours (difficult to achieve work life balance) even though work-life balance is a constant theme being pursued by management.

Pros

Good benefits and hybrid work

Cons

Ridiculous production goals that are especially impossible to hit when work is slow. Site design work (updating site sketches) has replaced customer drawings, and they hardly count anything toward goals, yet this is the tedious/time filling work that is being handed out (because managers can't provide any real work) with the idea that "you must hit goal or else!" Threatened to not provide me with my severance! Backstabbing employees. I had a good midyear review, then company buys a brand new office while laying off many employees including me.
