Pros
The company commits to professional development, hires quality people and individuals are able to work on large projects that move quickly. Over time, it allows for skills acquisition. The reputation of Haskell in the community is second-to-none and, until recently, did not rely on layoffs to manage staff volume. Management is very transparent with company performance and commits significant resources to trainings and extracurricular events that help company morale. Team collaboration is high between all involved on projects.
Cons
As with many large companies, there are several layers of management; an employee will have project bosses, administrative bosses and divisional bosses. Construction is a slow business, so some projects can take years to complete. Although some senior managers can sympathize and understand both mentalities, there is a palpable schism between the design side of the firm (architects and engineers) and the construction side (contractors, project managers). Status quo, as opposed to design and innovation, is the main priority on the construction side.
