Pros

DPR is growing rapidly which is great if you're looking for flexibility in work locations or if you're a significant owner of company shares. Leadership is more approachable than other general contractors.

Cons

Fast growth is affecting quality of management and decision making. The company creates a culture where not having an assigned title is a way of claiming they are a flat organization but decision making is still quite top down. Lack of definition of roles allows some people to grow faster by over-performing but DPR does not provide due recognition for merit - as promotions or in compensation. Company continues to propagate the culture where the only thing that matters is the number of years you spend.

Large projects teams get lost in the sauce. Everything can become a dog and pony show, client relations become more important than the wellbeing of staff
