They offer good behind the scenes benefits, did a good job of trying to retains peoples positions thru the pandemic, and tried to keep people informed of policy changes due to the pandemic

The pandemic created a thick layer of uncertainty for everyone. It has been a constantly moving target, mostly for a company that is spread across multiple states. The latest was the Federal Contractor Mandate which at this point is in limbo. We certainly did our best to keep people informed through the ever changing rules. I will continue to work on this transparency and general transparency about other parts of the business. If you have any specific feedback in this regard, please feel free to reach out to me. Thanks.

Company tries to act like it’s small, but it’s not

Coffman Engineers Response

Thanks for the positive outlook and nice place to work comment. The con that you mentioned is very similar comment to the one received on June 6. See that response for some clarification. There are parts of acting big that we are specifically trying to avoid. The only way to avoid those things is to have general managers that cooperate with each other so the company doesn't have to impose cooperation with policy. But as a big company, there are policies that can't be avoided. So yes, we are trying to act small and be big. It's a tension worth living in. Thanks again. Dave Ruff - CEO
