Pros

Working at Papa Dawson I've had the opportunity to work on large project around San Antonio that smaller engineering companies would not see. Being a large engineering company with multiple in-house engineering, environmental and survey disciplines there is always someone that can help answer a question you don't know that may pop up on a project.

Cons

-Once you become a project engineer the pace to be promoted is slow. -Headphone are not supposed to be used during regular business ours.

Pros

Pape-Dawson Engineers, Inc. and its officers truly appreciate the importance of the work/home life balance. They have created a family oriented environment both in and out of the office. Most teams have established a real comradery or “family-like” bond that makes for a very enjoyable, gratifying workplace. Pape-Dawson holds/sponsors several different social clubs or events because they understand that the social atmosphere of a work place is equally important as the professional setting. Pape-Dawson prides itself on its character and moral integrity which is made clear by its long lasting professional relationships and its community involvement.

Cons

Not really a con but; if your work ethic is careless or halfhearted Pape-Dawson might not be the right fit.
