Pros

People are helpful and knowledgeable. Projects span a wide range of disciplines and applications. Small-office feel in a big company (with a big budget). Benefits are pretty good. Upper management makes an effort to connect with all offices, and they have been very sympathetic/accommodating during Covid.

Cons

No 401k match, some groups/people are not eligible for bonuses, and PTO could be improved.

Pros

Struggling to think of any. I would say there is room to be flexible in your schedule as long as you meet deadlines, which is nice, but also not really unique to this company in today's climate. I enjoyed the company I worked for prior to NV5 buying us out.

Cons

Really a terrible, toxic company to work for. There are a multitude of reasons why, but I'll highlight some of the most important: -Poor Leadership - People promoted into management positions who have absolutely no business managing people. -Inequity - Those who do the bare minimum are regularly celebrated and rewarded. It's really quite baffling. I can't help but feel there's some bureaucratic reasoning behind this. - Poor pay - Upper management makes very good money, however below that the pay compared to the industry standard is laughable. And then you are supposed to clap and cheer for your 1% raise. - No 401k match and no bonuses - These were two things promised to us during the buyout, however, it was not true. Our Christmas bonus this past year was a $40 Amazon gift card. No lie. They've also stripped our holidays down to a total of 5 paid days off. NV5 is not a mission-driven company. They are out to make money, and they do not care about their employees. The ONLY way I'd recommend working here is to get a year of experience (if you're entry-level) and then hightail it somewhere else.

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!
