Pros

Coffman Engineers supports me professional and personally and is truly a great place to work. The work that is done here matters and is important.

Cons

I believe the current compensation is well below what it should be. This tends to be confirmed in discussion with peers. It also leads to prospective employees being brought in at to high of a position to justify increased salary requirements In addition, Principals tend to be very protective of the status quo.

Pros

The older staff is very happy to help. Good benefits, you are compensated for any extra work.

Cons

Can sometimes be stressful and require you to work overtime when deadline are near.

The compensation for extra work just seems right. That's why we pay for overtime even for salaried employees. If we are able to bill the client for your value, then we should pay you for that value. Hopefully, that slightly mitigates the stress when overtime is required by the project schedule. I hope that helps (from an older staff member). Dave Ruff - CEO

The Bozeman office is in such a great location. I think the building was originally planned to be a brewery. Maybe this helps a little when you are mostly at your desk ;) Thanks for the positive feedback about the culture. All the best. Dave Ruff - CEO
