Pros

Great Benefits and you get the opportunity to be a part of some cool projects.

Cons

You work a lot of hours and your site trailer will feel like a high school. The idea of praise in public, criticize in private is not seen here and you feel like a cog in the machine more than smaller GCs where you feel like a family.

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).
