Pros

Company keeps employees continually learning and up on their required professional learning requirements. Lots of overtime if you want it, and great benefits.

Cons

Growth was too quick too fast and not enough experienced managers for employees. Need to train managers from date of hire

Pros

LDG has been a great place to work for the past few years. The corporate service team is transparent with their growth vision and goals and does a good job at keeping everyone updated on the company stats. There is room to grow in this company if you are willing to put in the time and effort it takes and don't just expect a hand out. They have done a good job with their recent compensation plan to be competitive in order to retain their employees. Just within the past few years I've been here, LDG has improved with leaps and bounds toward making this a top place of employment. There seems to be a good work life balance that managers are respectful of, and they just implemented summer hours which is also another great incentive, I hope they continue to progress with their employee engagement and retention plans.

Cons

There have been groups that have struggled with employee turnover and having issues with burning out some of the employees, however the company recognizes this issue and is working toward creating a better employee environment for those groups. Also to put it in perspective, those groups are just a small piece of the pie that make up LDG, so the few who had a poor experience here were unfortunately just part of a team that has some work to be done so that they can be brought up to speed with the rest of the company. In some instances it pays to hold out, or furthermore to stand up as a leader and help make those groups successful. If you always do what you've always done, then you'll always get what you've always gotten.

Pros

Employee owned, profit sharing, embraces technology, diverse services/markets, creative marketing, good culture, opportunities for those who step up and prove themselves.

Cons

Too Heavy focus on traditional Engineering practices. Needs to grow Surveying and Architectural services more while also supporting a more agile and innovative Engineering group that can take on national competition.
