Pros

Cares about employees. Allows for growth. Decent benefits. Bigger company that still feels like family. Invested in the future of employees and the company.

Cons

Although the benefits are good, the pay is average. However, bonuses are good. I know that some offices are downtown like Seattle which can be hard.

Coffman Engineers Response

Thanks for the positive feedback regarding our culture. And thanks for being part of the team for over 10 years. Regarding the pay, we do manage our business model in a way that creates stability for the firm and our employees. We have proven through our history that we can ride out the lows in the economy without rash staffing adjustments. This is consistent with our culture. Well managed business, fair wages, and good performance rewarded through bonus distribution, is the Coffman way. Thanks again. Dave Ruff - CEO
