Pros

4-day work week (Friday’s off) continued from old company (RBA group). Very relaxed and fun office. Happy hours and extracurricular activities with the company. Most of the engineers are young so everyone gets along and relates to each other. NV5 ranks high on ENR top design firms.

Cons

NV5 is the new branded company .. it is a growing publicly traded company, similar to the WSP’s and AECOM’s but with very different verticals (MECH, electrical, etc.) and more present out west and south west. In NY office raises are very low compared to cost of living and the bigger company NV5 gives standard raises based on the nation-wide average, which is far below what the average wage increase in NYC is. Also salaries are negotiated with clients likes NYCDOT which does not approve of anything higher than the average. The work NV5 gets in NYC office isn’t the most challenging or interesting.

Pros

There are none besides having a job versus not having one.

Cons

NV5 survives by buying companies and taking benefits away from the employees. First I lost 6% of my compensation in retirement contributions. Then I lost the somewhat less expensive healthcare plan. Then I lost ALL retirement contributions. Not to mention the CEO lied to my former company about that 6%.
