      Pros

      Salary and benefits are above average

      Cons

      High employee turnover, low office morale, irresponsible/insubordinate senior staff, remote office management does not follow through. Historically low project win rate and substantial project losses. This office is a sinking ship.

      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.
