      Solid Workplace Focused on People and Results

      Senior mechanical engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Professional Environment Focus on People Supportive Environment Engaging Work If you care about your work product, are a compassionate human, and enjoy succeeding as a team with a support cast of team members that share in your success - you would be hard pressed to find a better place to work. While this is a traditional engineering workplace, leadership as a whole is pretty darn great. Everyone is generally very supportive of one another and there are plenty of ways to get involved if you want to do more for either your discipline or your office (or you can not; definitely not required). There are lots of offices, while maintaining the brand and image is important, Coffman encourages individual office autonomy. There is also overtime/comp time.

      Cons

      Health Insurance could be better. For the most part Coffman follows standard engineering firm roles/rules for promotions, productivity, and project management. This is listed as a con, but it's more just a truth of the industry as a whole for better or for worse. Career opportunities depend on where you are, so if your discipline has 5 principal engineers that are all 30 years old in your office - you're going to be disappointed if you goal is to become a principal engineer in that discipline. There are other ways to stand out, but the shareholders (Principals) are generally who signs contracts, stamps/signs drawings, and are the major decision makers.

      We are a growing company and do have other opportunities if you see limitations ahead of you. One of those opportunities is to help us start up a new office location (but you are sort of in one now). Another way to stand out is to get involved in our strategic programs. This is a way to gain exposure across the company. Keep crushing it in Portland! Dave Ruff - CEO

      Healthy Things Grow

      Electrical engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The best part about Coffman is the leadership. From the CEO to Discipline Managers, there is a genuine feeling that people care about each other. During my interview, I the CEO happened to be in the office. I heard him say "healthy things grow" so we want to make sure we take care of people. It is nice to work for a company that strives to do the right thing. The projects were are diversified which allows young engineers to be exposed to different designs. There are a lot of opportunities to succeed.

      Cons

      I have not experienced anything negative. The HDHP can be a challenge for some.

      I was there! And yes, healthy things do grow. Take care of people and the profits take care of themselves. Life is too short to be miserable at work and work is too strenuous to strive and not achieve something great. We design cool stuff. And we have fun doing so. Glad you are on our team.

      Pros

      I enjoy the exceptional culture within the Coffman Dallas office. Everyone is extremely professional and hardworking - willing to do whatever it takes to ensure client success and high quality execution of projects. I enjoy the ability to engage in a diverse range of work, from detail design, business development and project management. The Coffman office and corporate leadership always goes above and beyond to be transparent with employees and strive for continuous improvement in both internal and client relationships.

      Cons

      No cons come to mind.
