Pros

The benefits are great! I've only had to work overtime a few times. The schedule is flexible. People in the office have your back! They give good raises every year! I believe the newly started mentoring program will be beneficial.

Cons

Sometimes you have to do what is needed instead of what you would like to do. Not very much training, you pretty much have to figure new things out on your own.

Pros

Flexible hybrid schedule is very nice and starting salary is high for early career engineers.

Cons

The main people running the company are not engineers and you can tell. They are all focused on utilization with rates often set at 97% or higher. This had led to my supervisor asking/telling me to not charge company required trainings. As an early engineer it really feels like they don't want to invest in me and only care about their bottom line. If you are an early career structural engineer you will also not get any meaningful work until you've been with the company for at least 5 years. The senior engineers do not trust you and will only give you grunt work.
