Pros

Have been challenged everyday and have been provided extensive opportunities for growth and advancement. Entrepreneurial spirit allows Epstein to solve client challenges in numerous market sectors, regions and disciplines. The ability to talk to any disciplines (architect, engineer, construction) and dig into a problem, question or curiosity which is stimulating. If a business case can be made for a new service offering envisioned by the employees this is possible and supported. I have seen whole new disciplines created based on the passion of a single employee that was supported and nurtured. Have non-billable BIM strategists who sole purpose is to improve how we deliver BIM solutions and help our employees with the software so they can be architects and engineers and not software support.. Our diversity is our strength.

Cons

Gaining alignment by our diverse professional cultures can create challenges but is also an opportunity. This is an industry challenge.

Congratulations on 8 years with Epstein! We agree we have one of the best work life balances in the industry. Our strong technical skills is something we take great pride in. In addition, we have invested over the past couple years to expand our design capabilities and will continue to do so.

Pros

Half-day Fridays, reasonably strong engineering group, IT is good, Revit work is ahead of the curve, the admin staff are a joy to work with

Cons

Transparently unhealthy dynamics at top tiers of management, some people don't respond to your emails and do not hold themselves accountable, too much of a "copy/paste" mindset, high turnover, poor project scheduling, noisy workplace environment, some projects are rather morbid.

We agree with your assessment that our admins are top notch. We have invested in our Revit capabilities over the past several years and it is wonderful to see the investment is paying off. Like most workplaces, Epstein knows we are not perfect. We have recently gone through a reorganization amoungst our management team to ensure that each individual's strengths are being maximized. We appreciate your feedback and will continue to make strides towards addressing our staff's concerns.
