Pros

Company just added floating holidays and a paternity/maternity leave this year. Most time spent in the office doing design, with some spent in the field during the summer. Exempt employees are paid straight overtime which is great for field observations in the summer. Culture is friendly, and there's lots of people willing to help you learn the next thing.

Cons

I would like to see more opportunities to work on different kinds of projects. That's the only reason I wouldn't rate 5 stars. I'm fairly new to this company, so this could easily change in the future.

Pros

Work life balance Work from anywhere policy

Cons

All senior level engineers are absolutely checked out and just coasting until retirement. It's clear everyone has advanced through years with the company and not on merit. The company is incredibly slow to adapt. My first day I showed up to the office, a cubicle farm and was given outdated tech. They still supply wired keyboard and mouse and wired headsets. It was a warning sign of things to come. Saying the office environment is drab is too kind. They still employ full wall cubicles and closed door offices with no windows. Any company even remotely in tune with today's office culture left these behind 10-20 years ago. The work is slow and unrewarding at best. They work on bloated government contacts. I was routinely given 2-4 hours of work and told we have 40-80 hours budgeted so make sure you use it all
