Pros

Always interesting and challenging projects to cut your teeth on. If you want more than a 9 to 5 job working with smart people work at Granite.

Cons

You can get stuck on a project that is a loser: financially and owner wise. This makes day to day work no fun and a real drag. Hard to get out of a bad project unscathed.

Pros

Stable company. Lots of upper management interactions.

Cons

They're still mentally recovering from the financial crisis downturn. Materials business is mostly an afterthought. This will always be a construction company first.
