Pros

Dennis Group is growing fast, which means that you can learn a lot in a short period of time. Also you can gain responsibility quickly as long as you show some initiative. Your career can move quickly if you want it to. It's a great group of people, and it's interesting to work/interact with people from different disciplines. Realistically people come to work to see their coworkers, less so to do a particular job, though I definitely do enjoy mine. Because the company is changing so much, you can really have an effect on the future of the company. A rare opportunity to actually make a dent. It's a 30 year old company that is finally becoming modern, and it's fun to be part of building that new culture. The company is thriving. We have tons of work. In 2 years of working here, I've never been bored. There are a lot of employees that have been here 10, 20+ years which is very encouraging. No micromanagement. I'm happy with my pay, and my peers seem satisfied with theirs. Benefits are fine. Open vacation policy is a huge plus.

Cons

Some of the pros above have their downsides. Because the company is growing quickly, it can be difficult to efficiently assimilate new hires. Change is uncertain, and not everyone can deal with that. I personally find it exciting, but there is some grumbling from coworkers that have been here a long time. We have tons of work, but that can mean tons of working. Having managers that have been here for 30 years might mean that they've never worked anywhere else before (or not much and a long time ago) and don't have much perspective on how other companies do business or what new employees might expect. No micromanagement can also mean no direction if you're inexperienced or aren't particularly self-directed. This all means, that working here requires you to have a lot of initiative and have a plan for your self. You'll be thrown in the deep end which is both good and bad. This is all slowly changing though, and I believe we'll keep improving.

Pros

* Your coworkers are likely into their job. * Project Managers care a lot and your voice will be heard about the work going on. * You definitely have job security. * Insane amount of experience and quick it might be in the zone of your field that you wanted but you will get a ton of experience. (Might end up being site installation supervisor as a controls engineer)

Cons

* People do not believe in work life balance at DG the project matters more than you when you are in the thick of it. * They are definitely under staffed for the work they have going on and you will be required to work more because of it. * You will work a crazy amount of overtime with no overtime pay. I had to work over 70 hour weeks frequently for the same pay. * They will say the bonuses add up for the overtime... this is a lie especially as a beginner the bonus looks like another check if it is good. Not worth it when you basically worked double work weeks for most of the year.
