Pros
- Company will create custom opportunities that fit an employee's interests and skills in order to retain/engage that employee - Leadership genuinely cares about the well-being of each employee - Passionate employees and leaders (we build cool things and everyone is very driven by that mission) - Very social atmosphere, many people are friends outside of the workplace - Strong business and financials, no fear of losing job due to poor financial management - Culture of innovation and collaboration - Genuinely seeking continuous improvement, from construction management to people management to business management. Executive leadership is self-aware of the issues and are investing in making it better. - Diversity in kinds of opportunities due to project and geographic breadth as well as Clark's many subsidiaries (Clark Concrete, Atkinson, Edgemoor, C3M, etc.) - Huge responsibility and leadership opportunities at a young age - Executive leadership is accessible and wants to listen
Cons
- Some residual legacy "old-school" culture with older managers (less flexible work mindset, you should just sacrifice for the job, discouraging of taking paternity leave, don't value soft skills, etc.) - Your experience is very much defined by your manager and project team which can vary tremendously across the company. May have a really positive experience in one place and poor experience on your next job. The company has several initiatives to work on this, but can still be an issue. - No clear/streamlined way to move through company (different regions or business units). All dependent on having an engaged manager who looks out for you. - Baseline benefits. Could improve amount of vacation time and be more progressive with benefit options (extended mat leave, PTO vs vacation/sick days, flexible working, paid commuting, etc)
