Business Outlook
Pros
Variety of projects with complex and varying issues. Involvement in many different areas of Geotechnical engineering (foundation design and analysis, geophysics, slope stability, SOE design, construction materials, etc). Opportunites at ECS are better than any other geotechnical firm in the entire DC Metro Area. You have to work really hard and have a driven work ethic, but you will get farther at ECS than at any other geotech firm.
Cons
Very driven and high expectations of workload and weekly expectation of hours in excess of 45 to 54 hours. Can be very difficult to maintain desirable work/home balance. Workplace flexibility is extremely limited and telecommuting is generally frowned upon.
