Pros

DOWL is a great place to work! We have amazing colleagues, challenging projects, innovative project management and leadership training, multiple opportunities for career growth, reward/recognition for performance, and a culture of continuous improvement. I have tremendous trust and respect for top management and my teammates. The people are talented, dedicated, and kind.

Cons

As with all consulting firms, sometimes it's hard to juggle overlapping project demands.

Thanks for the positive review and the advice on how to continually improve. Your comments on culture, rewarding top performers, and continuing to grow and evolve as a company really resonated with me. As the CEO I learn much about this company and "what is missing" and "what is working" by reading these reviews. Thanks for guiding us forward with your insight.

Pros

The people are great, regardless of where I look in the company. We have committed and thoughtful leadership, effective mentors, and highly technical staff. It really is a great team and I feel privileged and proud to be a part of it.

Cons

Some of our offices are in small markets, which makes developing work challenging.

Thanks for the great review and the comments about leadership and technical capabilities. One of the ways that we have been able to maintain offices in smaller communities is through work share, and exemplary professional services. Workshare allows us to adjust to the ups and down of workload, and exemplary professional service allows us to maintain long term relationships with public and private entities in the communities we serve.
