Pros

The only pro was very competitive salary.

Cons

They say that they want suggestions for improvement yet they resist and suffocate every step of the way. Management by bullying and intimidation. Extremely poor people management skills. More concerned about the value of stock than value of employees.

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%.
