Pros

They immediately throw you onto large important projects, and don't underestimate your ability to perform, even as a new employee. You're given many opportunities to learn on the job

Cons

Training was minimal. You learn as you go and make many mistakes. Pay is severely under industry average but management credits the ESOP program and annual bonuses that supposedly make up for it. Management was next to silent about BLM and didn't take immediate action regarding COVID practices and policies.

Pros

Staff is super nice and friendly, lots of field visits, and learning opportunities. As an intern, I never got bored and felt like I learned a lot about solid waste. Company has a lot of opportunities to grow as an engineer.

Cons

Feast and famine culture like any other consulting job but it compliments nicely with field work.
