      Decent company but lacking in some very frustrating ways

      Pros

      Generally friendly atmosphere, good client base, senior management seems keen on growth. Good IT staff.

      Cons

      Branch offices are not supported or marketed effectively. Management decisions seem to be made on a "who's your buddy" basis rather than employee capability. Long-term strategy seems to be focused too much on money-grabbing in the gas industry. Employees do not get good feedback, and LDG does not have a clear and effective set of job descriptions. Employees have been exploited with little to no reward, or even recognition.

      Great medium sized A/E firm that's on the verge of growing into a prominent national company.

      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.

      Not losing sight of the employees while they try to grow and get better

      Pros

      LDG gets how employees make the difference in a service-oriented industry. Lots of very intelligent and highly-capable professionals. Year over year growth is phenomenal (2012 was only exception but they still grew and paid great bonuses out). Learning how to inject accountability into a friendly place which often makes friendly people uncomforable but they're slowly getting it. CEO had the baxxs to tell the entire place that LDG needed to revist the Vision and Strategy created in 2012 as the senior managment team was a shade or two off (not much but enough to be honest and revisit). Sr Management is directly involved in retooling the Vision and Strategy. How many companies would just tell everyone what the Vision and Strategy are instead of involving key leaders in crafting it? NOT MANY!!!

      Cons

      Communication can always be better. Increase transparency to all levels within the company. Insist Accountabilty gets injected into the firm...do these, be true to your solid culture, and everything else will take care of itself.
