Pros

There are a lot interesting roles which exist to boost young hires and even give older employees a platform to achieve break out. You can choose which role you play with the amount of effort you employ. Pay is very competitive and the employees are being taken care of in multiple aspects while our new form of work develops. The values promoted within are in place to try and form a diverse work force.

Cons

There is a shortage in key leadership roles and this can lead to a poor work life balance for the inspiring engineer. Employee Match and PTO could be more competitive for younger and less experienced employees. The values that the company hold high are good, but sometimes come a crossed as cheesy when compared to the actual work experience/ environment.

Pros

As a national firm, GFT has a huge emphasis and impact on many transportation and infrastructure projects, and work quite heavily with many DOTs/federal organizations. I also appreciated the diversity present within my office and leadership teams, which is a huge positive for minorities.

Cons

Mentorship opportunities are practically non-existent. I worked in a location which was WFH 2 days a week, and a lot of the staff would be bogged down with many projects at hand, unable to regularly provide help. A few of the senior engineers at my office in particular were condescending to junior staff. Huge expectation on junior staff to produce high results without very little instruction and oversight. Also freakishly annoying with utilization rates and work tracking.
