Pros

Gannett in my experience has always been in the upper echelon as far as management understanding of career goals, work-life balance, and being an overall inclusive environment that allows employees to take charge of initiatives up and down the chain. During and post-COVID, they really pulled ahead and are head and shoulders above their peers. It helps that they are proactive in offering competitive benefits.

Cons

If you are looking for moving within the company due to life changes, it might be hampered by their focus on growing markets where they already have an established presence, but that might be par-for-the-course in this industry.

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.
