Pros

The people are great and are the reason that most young employees are attracted to the company. Clark also wins contracts for very large projects and is very well known in the DC area. A lot of responsibility is given to each team member no matter how much experience you have.

Cons

-There is no structure whatsoever to advancing in the company. You do the best job possible and be told you are doing so by your direct managers, but when it comes to promotions its all luck and chance. Even if you are recommended for one, no one can tell you when or if it will happen. There are rumors that a limited amount of people can be promoted each cycle so if you don't have someone at the top of the company pulling for you, it won't happen. Since employees with the same job title and exceptions have many different managers it's impossible to compare one person's work to another's. -As mentioned, you are given a lot of responsibility immediately. Everyone is extremely busy since jobs are short staffed, so there is little to no guidance given to you. You have to figure out mostly everything on your own. -There's a high turnover rate and the upper management doesn't seem to care too much.

Pros

-Interesting projects -Exposure within the industry

Cons

-Almost every review I’ve seen everyone says over worked. They say it’s the industry but Clark is known in the construction world for that. Working 12 hours in the field in normal and expected. - they favor certain people and make them little mentees under long term employees. Those people are then given a gold star. -Departments who you think would care about their people ( HR and Communications do not) -become so woke yet don’t actually react -Make the new vacation policy look like a benefit but it’s actually less time and keeps them from having to pay out if you leave - take pride in “safety” but expect you to drive to work in a snowstorm because they cleared the parking lot. The amount of people that were amazed at that email is insane.
