Pros

Smart and experienced colleagues that are great to learn from as a young engineer. Full services firm so there’s opportunity to work with a lot of different groups (water, transportation, aviation, etc.)

Cons

Poor company support for benefits along with subpar raises. Unwilling to advance younger employees even when its deserved. WAY too top heavy of a company.

Pros

Seeing a pattern of addressing only the pros and rarely having any accountibiloty to comments in Cons section, Pros will not be listed here.

Cons

-Hyper critical work culture to point that compromises employee personal and office morale -Almost no field support and field between on-site field team is almost impossible -Field supervisors are spread very thin in responsibility which causes the above issues -Employee personal dislikes are apparent on teams which lead to discordant team dynamics. Ex. Team member will laugh and joke with some team members, but other get professional, but near frigid responses. -Favoritism is rampant creating a less than ideal work environment.
