Business Outlook

Pros

Great talent to surround yourself with, both peers and superiors. Excellent project opportunities that create resume-building experience. Wonderful benefits. Great friendships/community can be developed through first class culture. Compensation is competitive.

Cons

The work-life balance in operational roles is not great. Long hours will be required, some projects being worse than others. However, if you have a "support" role that isn't directly tied to day-to-day project operations, you will have much better work-life balance. These roles are few and far in between, so most of those who stay with DPR for the long haul seem to end up in one of these roles. Hard in a company of this size not to get pigeon-holed and have your career growth stunted through no fault of your own. Certain employees that have more vocal/diligent superiors will get promoted/raises more quickly than those with more relaxed superiors.

Pros

Amazing culture, unique to the industry. I feel like a valued part of the team, and have had a lot of opportunities to try new things/types of projects. Shared leadership is a value that you find is actually lived out. Work/life balance is not too difficult to maintain with the PTO policy.

Cons

It is awesome to get to try new things, and build your role to what suits you and your interests, but sometimes it can feel like getting thrown in the deep end.
