Pros

Interesting and challenging bridge and roadway projects overall, but since there is a lot of competition in Oregon, exciting local projects are hard to come by.

Cons

Opportunities for professional advancement may exist, but not typically for the local office. The local office is a satellite to the main office in Bellevue, Washington and engineers in Bellevue have seniority for all projects. Major bridge projects will not be handled in Portland at this time – possibly in the future when the office gains recognition as its own entity.

Pros

Open door policy culture. Employee owned company - pressure not too crazy to please Wallstreet. Time off is better than for most companies. 401K company match is great.

Cons

Hard to move up the ladder if minority. Fairly small organization if you want options when spouse/partner has to relocate.

Pros

The company has some good projects in its portfolio from its past and the pay is comparable to similar firms in the region.

Cons

Management style is top-down. Team-building, camaradrie, and communication between managers and employees is non-existent at best. Morale is poor, and frequent mass lay-offs have not come with any reassurances to the employees that are left behind. Review the benefits package carefully before taking this job.
