Pros

- Great group of work friends and a collection of different personalities. They'll never make a TV -sitcom about an engineering office, but it still a positive environment. - Mostly interesting project work and variety, but you never knew what was coming down the pike.

Cons

- Poor work scheduling meant I was often working on projects that required 60-70hr per week, while the person across from me only needed to work 40-50. - Very easy to get pigeon-holed into a very specific project type and do the same thing over and over. - High competition for work meant that engineering services were becoming more generic and commoditized, instead of client-specific.

Pros

With over 30 years in the engineering industry, I can say without hesitation that this is the most employee-attentive firm I have ever had the privilege of working for. What sets this organization apart is its commitment to staying at the forefront of the industry — not just technologically, but in how it values and invests in its people. The collective expertise of thousands of dedicated professionals here doesn't just benefit the company; it makes a meaningful impact on the world, and that sense of purpose has genuinely reignited my passion for engineering. The opportunities for growth are both vast and real. Across the firm's many initiatives, there is something for everyone who comes to work curious, motivated, and eager to contribute. This is not a place where ambition goes unnoticed. After more than three decades in this field, I have found a place I am proud to be part of — and one I hope to remain a part of for many years to come. If you are considering joining this team, I wholeheartedly encourage you to take that step.

Cons

If I have to mention a con, it would be monetary compensation, but who doesn't want more money. I took a paycut to join this firm and the amount of time I am investing, could be worth more than my current salary warrants.
