Pros

Have been with the company for 8 and a half years and have been in a variety of roles some better than others but always something interesting. Long View is a company where there can be some great opportunities if you are willing to do the work and grow your skills. There is a great benefits package, an amazing Christmas party and lots of team related events to make sure you don't feel forgotten. General Meetings give the workers a good idea of what is happening with the company. We have some incredible tech that we work with and some very smart people to leverage when assistance is needed.

Cons

Pay could be better and we seem to be a bit heavy in the areas where we aren't making money. We don't practice what we preach when it comes to our own internal environment, this is one area where we need better leaders and more money spent. We got too big too fast and said yes to many projects that we should never have touched. Because we are so big there is many who ended up coming aboard that were not a Long View fit because we needed bodies. Incentives... they just need to go because they don't work for a good chunk of people. If you are a floater or not interested in training or certs or specializing LVS probably wont be a good fit. Also true if you are a workaholic, because while we do say we want people to have a good work life balance there is no checks and balances in place to make sure you don't burn yourself out or get over utilized, seen it many times.

Pros

Great culture Care about their people more than any company I've seen in the industry Fantastic parties, Christmas party in Kananaskis with the family is always a big highlight Excellent opportunity for growth Career Life Planning process really helps but you must own it yourself You get out what you put in

Cons

Feeling some growth pains Can feel lost if you dont speak up So much activity you could get trapped in a bad career life balance spin but you have lots of control over this. You need to speak up.
