DOWL Senior Engineer/PM reviews

I concur with your assessment that we have great employees and engineers. Also, we have a very nice compensation package. Management is focused on running the business to be profitable and growing, and we try to give all offices and employees time to bridge over rough spots and use workshare to even out workloads. That mechanism has been successful at preserving positions in soft markets and assisting those that are very busy. The company is very patient. In my 25 years at the company we have always had an policy whereby salaried employees have an expectation of time commitment to the firm in any given year. We do not measure time away. That has worked at DOWL for almost 60 years and all of our offer letters clearly state the expectation and the freedom it provides. Many employees tell me this policy is the reason they stay at DOWL. In the course of doing business, I can say unequivocally that people are treated with dignity and respect and honesty. It is part of our Charter.
