Pros

The work life balance is really good. I don't ever really feel pressured to work OT. Colleagues are friendly.

Cons

The pay isn't nearly as good as it would be at similar companies. Job advancement isn't clear for younger employees with no clear structure for advancing. When those conversations start regarding promotion, the process is slow and there are always a million reasons for not promoting. Upskilling is difficult and it feels impossible to get any money for training. There aren't market adjustments for salaries.

Pros

Decent culture, individual contributors are fine, management is lacking

Cons

The company operates like many smaller companies depending on which business market you are in so your experience will vary. For some, it's the best company, others will say it's the worst; it just depends on your region/group even at the local level. Water/wastewater is a good market in most offices, transportation is hit an miss depending on location.
