Decent company for new-grads. If you value integrity in the workplace, PLEASE reconsider.

Project manager

Business Outlook

Pros

Plenty of work, opportunity to work on various types of projects. Good company to get experience.

Cons

Toxic work place and culture largely driven by management. Management abuses, exploits, and overworks employees. Bad behavior is swept under the rug and rewarded via promotions, raises, an bonuses, while everyone else gets the minimum amount. Long hours and stolen/no recognition for hard work. Management is often dishonest, unethical, and lacks moral values and you are punished and/or ostracized if you speak up about it. Heavy favoritism and bullying towards employees and clients.

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits Openness to respond to the questions Flexibility Good work life balance

Cons

No sense of learning or opportunities to get more insight on project tasks. Everything is handed off without a good frame to guide you on the tasks. Conflicting messaging between higher ups in the office in terms of how they want you to handle stuff. Very little sense of cohesion in the office in between employees. I don’t see myself growing as an engineer here. It seems this place (or particular office) is better suited for those with at least a few years already under their belt.

LJA Engineering Response

Thank you very much for your feedback. We are currently addressing this with manager training and developing clear career paths for our graduate engineers.
