Pros

The benefits at McCarthy are good, especially when you consider being fully-vested in the ESOP after 5 years of employment. The cost of health insurance was comparable to other mid-size companies.

Cons

The people at McCarthy cannot be trusted. They talk about a "smart and healthy" culture but then you find that secrecy and back-stabbing is the norm. Organizational Development could use some work. There are silos and competition among internal departments. They talk of "one company" but really, each region does whatever the they want to do. There are a lot of white men in leadership positions, if that is what you are looking for in a company. If you are an engineer, go for the job. If you want a corporate position, I think there are better places to work with a much better culture.

Pros

Great company culture, exposure to some amazing projects, project teams are fantastic, camaraderie with your team, great resources and onboarding to ensure you learn to do your job well. ESOP and bonuses are great.. if you stick it out long enough.

Cons

Pay is not as competitive as other GC's, you can be relatively underpaid as they rely too heavily on preaching about the ESOP (which takes you 5 years to even be fully vested). Can be very political and leadership kinda plays favorites, some people who dont deserve it get promoted quick and others who do deserve it never get promoted. Long work hours and depending on the jobsite it can be pretty high-stress (but thats just construction for ya).
