      Pros

      Strong Company Culture, Focus on Doing Things Well for Employees and Customers, Plenty of Work and Opportunities, Easy to Find Information and Get Support when needed. Things are well organized and thought out.

      Cons

      Consistent with the culture, there are high-performance expectations, and clear procedures for how things are done. Some folks may not be willing to accept that.

      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.
