Pros

Bonus Fridays off Good health insurance Good PTO

Cons

Horrible managers who haven’t been properly trained make the team feel children—tons of oversight, no autonomy, very controlling. There is no room for growth if you are in a resource group. Base salary is OK but raises and bonuses are laughably small.

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.
