Pros

The people you work with have the best personalities. There is no toxic work environment. There is no drama. There are some people in particular who are so passionate and excited about their work, it's inspiring and motivating. We also have a diverse staff, which give perspective to your work and life as your career develops.

Cons

There are a lot of people that complain they do not get paid enough. When you receive offers from other companies that are tens of thousands higher than what you're getting paid now, it's hard to stay with SmithGroup. So people come and go frequently, and some come back after leaving for a while. You are truly sacrificing the money you make for the great culture that is there.

Pros

Very welcoming environment with talented engineers and architects. They’re passionate about sustainability and performance-driven design. IMPACT is great as well.

Cons

Tasks could get boring after a while, which is true for repetitive work in any field, not just this company. But for a short-term internship, everything felt enjoyable and educational.
