Pros

Compensation; benefits package; a lot of opportunities for interesting and unique career experiences; staff and co-workers are all highly qualified and passionate about their work; questions and learning are encouraged; travel

Cons

There isn't a diversity in level of staff experience -- there aren't many young entry level professionals, the majority of professionals working at NewFields are very experienced and have established careers. The more experienced staff don't have time or patience to manage more inexperienced co-workers; they expect an unrealistically high caliber level of work out of entry level workers that can only be gained through experience and time. Engineering sector isn't organized -- they try really hard but there isn't a good system in place. This can be complicated and difficult trying to get information on other jobs and working with teams in other sectors of the company. There were times where work or information requests were denied or aid couldn't be given because different sectors of the company were considered competition -- this is a poor use of resources and doesn't benefit the company as a whole. The atmosphere is very corporate and everything comes down to dollars. If you aren't contributing enough to profits then they will not hesitate to drop you.

Thank you for your feedback. Glad you like our benefits and compensation, we aim to provide the most comprehensive benefits and competitive compensation to our team. NewFields values all of our employees and their individual and collaborative contributions to the success of the firm, our people are our greatest single asset. As such, NewFields recognizes the importance of bridging the communication and knowledge gap between senior and junior team members. To address these gaps, NewFields has several ongoing initiatives aimed at developing junior staff, expanding their expertise, sharing resources, and providing opportunities to learn new disciplines and increase their understanding of the business. Lastly, we believe NewFields is not driven by profits. We are a private company, not public, thus have no public pressure to increase earnings. In fact, our co-founders and numerous other senior members exited from large behemoth corporations who beat up their employees to create profits. NewFields heritage and core principals have been, and always will be, love what you do and do what’s best for your client.
