Pros

-Variety of projects and exposure to structural materials -A lot of responsibilities are given early on and exposure to management and client-side of things - A practical approach to design and analysis

Cons

-Office Politics. Some Senior Staff and Management can be accused of favoritism and avoiding responsibilities. -Almost no technical and management mentorship to younger/entry-level staff. -Blame-game is a big part of the culture and people are not valued. All they seem to care about is the money and profits of the bonus pool. -There are almost no helpful performance reviews. The managers are not aware of how and what you worked on throughout the year and what aspects should you improve on.

Pros

The organization is incredibly open minded to entrepreneurial individuals. If you have an interest in something, and can show that you have the ability to profitably take on work, most people in leadership will support you. The principals are generally a well-versed and strategic group, who are widely trusted to be driving the company while thinking about the long-term stability and profitability.

Cons

While the flat organization and independent operating structure allows for great flexibility and adaptability, the lack of centralized data management can cause gaps in information flow and inconsistencies from one project/group/division/manager to the next. Similarly, those with an interest in cutting edge technology would likely find the speed to adoption of new project management software in this setting to be stifling.

Pros

Reading over some of the positive reviews, clearly not what's happening. Company does well to train fresh graduates, but lacks growth

Cons

Principals/managers have constant pressure to perform company goals. Unfortunately this is a perfect example of a sweatshop.
