Pros

They are pretty flexible when it comes to your schedule. My office operates on a hybrid schedule. But work from home is allowed and even encouraged. Though they don't emphasize it, there is work/life balance . It is decently diverse, in terms of race, age, and backgrounds. The D&I Initiative is pretty new, but is a step in the right direction. The people in my office are great, they are the best thing that really make the experience of working at NV5 worthwhile.

Cons

Average pay and no promise or outlook for bonuses or increased pay no matter how well you perform. They incentivize you with stock bonuses that you can't even touch for 3 or so years. They are certainly in the business of acquiring companies, whereas the benefits become worse than what you had. They don't care too much about employee experience. It's way more about the results and keeping the clients happy (and no reward for doing that well). Overall, an average company, absolutely nothing special about it.

Pros

The office staff cares about employees, the staff is very caring about eachother, lots of after-work activities, good and honest work, managers are attentive to needs, and there are plenty of opportunities to move up the ladder.

Cons

Sometimes I'd rather be at work than at home.

Pros

Work from home freedom Boss is very communicative

Cons

They rely on ghost writing too much instead of having the inspectors write their own reports. They hire very very poor subcontractors to do inspections that give very bad info and take poor photos. No breaks from one report to the other. The report review also needs help... lots of errors in prior reports. Constantly overloaded fixing everyone's mistakes. Lazy coworkers. Lots of late late nights working.
