Pros

Small engineering staff with good collaborative efforts, great hands on experience. Consulting based nature gives direct management/estimating/scheduling experience as well as engineering based experience. Excellent design/build approach. Guaranteed 80 salary plus T&M straight pay. Essentially hourly, but is nice when constantly working 50 hr weeks.

Cons

Low pay and benefits in comparison with industry competitors. Essentially a construction company with a few engineers. Hardly any effort to retain employees, and little compensation for project success (commission, compensation, bonus). Compensation mostly based around time with the company and not performance. No relocation assistance or signing bonus, no new hire orientation.

Really great people to work with. Safety is top priority and the safety people are treated well. One of the very best places that I have ever worked. I miss those guys and hope they are all doing well.

Nothing that I can think of

Pros

Community and support within the company is great. There is plenty of opportunity for work and they are growing immensely. The culture is relaxed while still being hard working.

Cons

There is a ton of work to do, and they need more staff. You're compensated well, but it's not a lazy environment for sure. Some clients are tough to navigate.
