Pros

They are pretty flexible when it comes to your schedule. My office operates on a hybrid schedule. But work from home is allowed and even encouraged. Though they don't emphasize it, there is work/life balance . It is decently diverse, in terms of race, age, and backgrounds. The D&I Initiative is pretty new, but is a step in the right direction. The people in my office are great, they are the best thing that really make the experience of working at NV5 worthwhile.

Cons

Average pay and no promise or outlook for bonuses or increased pay no matter how well you perform. They incentivize you with stock bonuses that you can't even touch for 3 or so years. They are certainly in the business of acquiring companies, whereas the benefits become worse than what you had. They don't care too much about employee experience. It's way more about the results and keeping the clients happy (and no reward for doing that well). Overall, an average company, absolutely nothing special about it.

NV5 is a joke!

Pros

I am a gov. contractor for NV5. I have yet to find a single pro about working for this company...I wake up every morning feeling awful about the company I ultimately work for

Cons

As stated in a previous review: - they offer typical medical benefits (but high premiums) - no 401K match (are you kidding me) and no sign-on bonus (even though these were both promised to me during the interview process) - salaries are not competitive with other consulting firms doing similar work - in the end, this is just another corporation out to make money...if you have strong environmental ethics/morals look elsewhere!

Pros

Work life balance is fair. Good amount of vacation. Most are paid hourly, so if you work over 40hrs/wk you are paid for it. Many of the company issues have simple solutions.

Cons

Got bought out by NV5 ~3 yrs ago. Very corporate feel. No 401K match. No bonus. Lot of lies and deception from corporate and management. Little innovation. High turnover rate. Bad culture.
