Pros

The people you work with are great. There are plenty of opportunities here to grow. Schedules are flexible.

Cons

The leadership is lacking and don't provide much guidance. If you're not a self starter, you'll feel lost. There are good people here that could help, but they are so swamped, it feels like you're a burden when you ask for help.

Pros

Syska shows a deep committment to the technical and social development of young engineers through various training programs and information sessions.

Cons

As with most companies in NYC, projects move at a faster pace and with tighter schedules. It is not uncommon to work a lot of overtime in order to meet deadlines. On the bright side, overtime is paid for for junior to mid-level engineers.

Pros

Highly Organized, Highly Specialized MEP firm. Not your average people mill, they genuinely seem to care about their employees and their clients. Great place to work and learn. They do allow access to plenty of opportunity within the framework of their company.

Cons

Too specialized in my opinion. Like most MEP firms, their metrics are totally based on billable hours.
