Pros

Great building and Friday afternoon happy hour. Lots of opportunity for bonuses if you are in the right group

Cons

Company does not understand the fundamentals of Project Management. This is a who you know, who likes you environment. There are many people in positions of power who really do not know how to manage people and as a result some people are badly mistreated. Just do not feel that it is a very professional organization. In addition way to much paperwork. IT Systems are not integrated.

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.
