Pros

Lots of opportunities in the near future for any young talent that chooses to stay (nobody wants to stay) as there is a very significant lack of employees under the age of ~30. Most are 50+ which means they have lots of experience (which is great), but few are willing to take the time to share. Pay is decent but no bonuses.

Cons

Lack of formalized training, poor culture, office-wide sense of complacency, extremely old workforce (absolutely massive age gap), management fails to listen to new ideas, location is far away from younger areas of Houston, equipment and technology used in the office is extremely outdated, list could go on and on for internal issues. Externally, company as a whole is struggling to win work against competitors.

Pros

Hi visibility projects. Rewarding experiences Competitive Pay

Cons

Sub-bar Project Management team. Condescending at times. Entitled. Sense of superiority. Confusing Hierarchical Structure and chain of reporting. Two managers. Administrative Organizational Unit Manager and a project manager. You report to both. Not flexible at the implementation of latest and most robust design software. Extremely cautious about the implementation of AI, sacrificing productivity and cutting edge competitiveness. Extreme focus on employees training on the companies policies and procedures, but not on the technical development of employees. Do not internally promote, rather they hire from outside for vacant higher positions. Remote workers are considered second class citizens. Not equal to those who work from the office, despite their credentials and pedigrees.
