Pros

I'm working on one of my favorites projects that I've ever been on at any company. The people in my field office are easy to work with and there is a solid sense of teamwork and camaraderie.

Cons

I've yet to meet or interact with anyone from the corporate office. Outside of generic company emails, I have no attachment to the corporate mothership at all. This makes it hard to imagine advancing very far for anyone in the field. Low ceiling. The benefits are subpar compared to other companies I've worked for. PTO is lumped together. You start with 5 sick days and 10 vacation days regardless of what level you start at (lumped together as 15 PTO days). There are very few paid holidays. We don't even get Christmas Eve off. Health benefits are middle of the road at best. Work from home policy is unclear. Seems to be acceptable occasionally. There are also no bonuses unless you're upper management.

Pros

With over 30 years in the engineering industry, I can say without hesitation that this is the most employee-attentive firm I have ever had the privilege of working for. What sets this organization apart is its commitment to staying at the forefront of the industry — not just technologically, but in how it values and invests in its people. The collective expertise of thousands of dedicated professionals here doesn't just benefit the company; it makes a meaningful impact on the world, and that sense of purpose has genuinely reignited my passion for engineering. The opportunities for growth are both vast and real. Across the firm's many initiatives, there is something for everyone who comes to work curious, motivated, and eager to contribute. This is not a place where ambition goes unnoticed. After more than three decades in this field, I have found a place I am proud to be part of — and one I hope to remain a part of for many years to come. If you are considering joining this team, I wholeheartedly encourage you to take that step.

Cons

If I have to mention a con, it would be monetary compensation, but who doesn't want more money. I took a paycut to join this firm and the amount of time I am investing, could be worth more than my current salary warrants.
