Not a great company

Pros

It’s a large company so benefits are decent.

Cons

Company is terrible and I would not recommend. There is no support or mentorship for younger employees, and they do not care about anything but revenue.

Pros

- One of the top engineering firms in the US, so (depending on your position) you get to work on some of the biggest projects with some of the smartest people around. If you are a type-A personality you will likely like it. - Decent amount of women in leadership roles, at least regionally. Same with DEI efforts, they do seem to genuinely try - Decent benefits package

Cons

- Work/life balance was an issue when I started and hadn't improved when I left. Principal and senior engineers in the office regularly worked 50-60+ hr weeks, and it was clear that was what was required to move up the career ladder (particularly once you got to mid-level and above). Numerous staff left the company while I was there for exactly this reason, management just does not get it. - Senior/principal level engineers consistently not acting on complaints from mid/lower level staff. Meetings after meetings soliciting input on work or office issues from mid/lower staff then right back to business as usual. - C-suite is basically all old white guys - Salary was generally okay to meh. Decent raises/bonuses when hitting different career levels or milestones (e.g., licensure) but between those steps it did not seem like the financial performance of the company correlated to compensation.
