Pros

Multi-discipline engineering firm offered lots of interaction between disciplines. Learned much of other disciplines outside my own, which allows me to be a more well-rounded engineer.

Cons

Medical benefits were decent, but no Christmas bonus, very little recognition for work done. Once company went public, it seemed that all decisions were to pacify shareholders and not to incentivize the engineers who were actually doing the work to make money for the firm. It was after the IPO that the medical benefits dropped off as well as the bonuses & incentives.

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.
