Don't Walk, Run Away from NV5!

Pros

Our local office had a group of very hardworking, smart, honest people who I am glad I had an opportunity to work with.

Cons

- you are a number, not person. - each office works independently with no opportunity to get help/ transfer - salary is below average for our area - benefits are below average - bonus (if/when given) is in company shares - not yours for 3 years - 401K is a joke (12-15% of what employees contributed towards 401K during the year... You put $1000 and NV5 added $120-150 for that year.... in April 2017 for 2016 calendar year as one time contribution) - annual reviews are getting delayed by a month each year (once every 13 months...) - annual salary increase is below average in this field in our area and takes over a month to see it in you pay check (if any) - lack of communication - lack of natural growth (all growth is through buying new companies which creates a mismatch) - no cross-sale within the company - overall not a good company to work for

Pros

They are a great company to work for if you are complacent and have absolutely no ambition whatsoever. You can do no work at all and still get your 3% raise every year.

Cons

If you have any ambition at all, if you work hard, or if you care about your job do not expect to be compensated or recognized for your contributions.

Cut benefits and PTO

Pros

My old company pre-acquisition did interesting work and had a great people who I hope are successful.

Cons

Significant cuts to PTO, bonuses and 401k. Lean heavily into stock options w/ 3-year vesting as compensation putting all risk onto employees. You could have a great year but if the stock price drops - tough luck.
