Pros

Free coffee, decent pay, and free food from vendors, some good coworkers, relatively easy work, free codes and standards books, half days on Fridays (assuming you get your work done), knowledgeable PEs and PMs, pretty good training, ITs are there for any computer issues

Cons

Overtime is normal, working on weekends and holidays is normal, a lot of travel time almost every other week, coworkers frequently slamming on their work desk out of frustration, server maintenance can sometimes screw with the projects (but this didn't happen all that often), architects constantly change the floor plan and thus you have to replace everything, 10 hour days just *click click click* on the computer (if you want a job here, it would be good if you are a field technician that specifies things for the engineers so that you're not stuck in the office), some people stay in the office until 2AM or even 4AM from what I've heard from other coworkers.

Feedback like yours is valued across the organization and we're so glad to hear you enjoy the culture at DBR. However, in this industry and in our organization project deadlines are standard which means that there can be a lot of challenges AND rewards for doing it well. It is important to the leaders of this organization to continue to improve on ways to provide our employees with the appropriate resources for growth and advancement. Thank you.
