Pros

People are great least in the department I've worked at. Happy hours in the office on fridays.

Cons

Upper management are completely clueless, endless meetings with nothing ever getting done. Putting tons money to waste in resources thats not necessary. Benefits are just a slap to the face to employees, might as well not have a health insurance with the fees and copay you pay out. Benefits were constantly being cut, as profit sharing was gone the year I started. Upper management constantly reminds you how the company is 100 best places to work for in DC, however this company has one of the highest turnaround in the industry.

Pros

Compensation and benefits are competitive compared to some general contractors.

Cons

* Poor work-life balance. Weekend work was frequently expected without additional compensation or meaningful recognition. * Role expectations were unclear. As an Assistant Project Manager, I was regularly expected to perform superintendent duties in addition to my own responsibilities, creating unrealistic workloads. * High turnover and frequent leadership changes resulted in inconsistent direction and a lack of support from upper management. * Inexperienced employees were promoted into Project Manager positions without sufficient training or mentorship, which often impacted project execution and placed additional pressure on other team members. * During my pregnancy, I did not feel supported by management. Instead of working with me to plan for maternity leave, I felt increasing pressure through unrealistic expectations and heightened scrutiny, leaving me with the impression that the company preferred I resign rather than take protected leave. This was one of the most disappointing aspects of my experience. * Communication and employee support depended heavily on the individual manager, leading to inconsistent treatment across teams. * Long hours and expectations to constantly be available made it difficult to maintain any work-life balance.
