Great Place To Work

Pros

This place has a fantastic work ethos, smart people, and tight knit teams committed to doing good work. They recognize that everything's a learning process, and provided that you work hard you can see the positive results of your work in front of you and you are appreciated for them. People work in small teams within a big company, really getting the best of both worlds on that front.

Cons

Not very many; the hours are long I suppose, but the work is cool and there is a sense of ownership to it that makes them worthwhile.

The atmosphere is overall positive with a culture which values Technically challenging projects Drive for excellence Respect of quality performance

Cons

Work can be very hard with a lot asked of employees. Sometimes the peaked in busyness and stress can run into each other with no down time, or not enough time to recover

Pros

Flexibility in schedule. Getting to work alongside very bright people. Innovation, within bounds, is encouraged (though keep in mind this is still the construction industry, so degree of "innovativeness" is relative). Self starters are generally well regarded. There are a large number of training and continuing education opportunities. Note that individual experiences can vary, and quite dramatically, depending on group/office/supervisors.

Cons

Promotions and compensation are reviewed on a strict annual schedule, and the factors behind the decision are not always discussed openly.
