Pros

Flexible Hours, Fair, Personally Rewarding Job. I have worked for Haskell for many years and have found from past co-workers and friends and the grass is not always greener on the other side. Since I have matured with the company I cannot complain and love to work here.

Cons

Some of the downsides for working with Haskell that are a personal downside as I dont know how other employees rate. 1. We never ever know for a fact what our next assignment will be. It is understandable and I dont blame upper management as often times an official contract sale is hard to obtain, but we are often informed that "you are going to be working on this project," or , " you will probably be a candidate for this project". Only to end up being thrown on a project never discussed. Dont get me wrong I am not complaining as all of us still employeed should be greatful to still earn a paycheck in these economic times, but I think there should be a better understanding of manpower assignments for upcoming projects.

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.
