-no lunch options within walking distance

At least I found a job here, still feel grateful for it. My manager is very nice and give a lot of helpful advice. I can spend most my time to do my job, instead of going through too many meetings. Office location is good.

1, Too many changes happening all the time in management level. We are sold again in 2019. GIS is not providing enough support to Whpacific for a long time. Hopefully NV5 can do better. Office manager quit, project manager quit, people feel insecure about the future. People asking "Do they want to keep the office here? Or they want to cancel it?" 2, All these local offices are running by themselves, they should share more resources and have better communication with each other. I used to work for other offices on some projects and my manager told me "You are lucky, they usually don't share their workload." 3. We need to have more young people and teach them how to do their job. Right now very few young engineers are trying to google or youtube about how to solve their tech issues all the day. You need to build up a team in which people can help each other. So when you need them to finish their job on limited budget or time, they will have the ability to figure out what to do. 4. If you don't have projects, you will end up losing people. If you lose too many people, there won't be enough project for you. Sometimes you need to invest in your staff more and keep doing that for a period of time.
