Pros

Awesome work culture. They are big on getting your work done rather than needing to stay in office longer than necessary. I also got a lot of hands on experience.

Cons

Hiring process is a little late in the year ~April for students trying to get internships.

Pros

Work-life balance is generally good, everyone is supportive and willing to help, there's a lot of opportunity to learn and grow.

When multiple deadlines hit, overtime is not optional but that's just the industry I guess.

You have highlighted the difference between consulting engineering and many other engineering jobs. And yes, it is an industry wide dynamic. Our design projects are ultimately construction projects involving large amounts of time sensitive capital awaiting the needed return on investment. Projects move fast. But what we do is super cool! We get stuff built that is safe, functional, and additive to society. The busy-ness tends to come in waves. Try to find balance. Dave Ruff - CEO
