It's a frat house

Graduate civil engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Uhh... They'll take you out to lunch sometimes and pay for your alcohol. Plenty of opportunity for overtime, practically required.

Cons

They really sell the company during the interview, offering great hours with every other Friday off, saying "we're the cool firm". But it isn't long before they start asking you to work extra hours everyday and come in on your Fridays they guarantee you would have off. Better not tell them no if you know what's best for you. They also feel the best way to learn is in your face "tough love". Better have thick skin if you plan to work there. But if it gets too stressful, don't worry, your manager probably has a six-pack or a bottle of bourbon at their desk to share. They're so stressed, they need it too.

Overall a Decent Place to Work

Assistant project manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Working in groups can be an excellent experience as long as you are in a good group. Some are 5* and some are not. Decent benefits package: medical, 401k matching, bonuses.

Cons

There are cliques in this company. It's very top heavy with senior management.
