Pros

Offers somewhat competitive pay for the location.

Cons

This company may have a decent reputation in Virginia. However, the Oregon branch was the epidemy of how awful corporate America is. The management was not around much at all. One senior PM was absent for the majority of the project on vacation and still gained credit for all of the work. Rather than being supportive of the APM team, management is deceptive and unfortunately quite incompetent. I have never worked at a company in which senior leadership wasn't a phone call away. In this case, senior leadership was halfway across the country. Management is quick to point fingers and slow to accept any faults of their own.

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.
