Pros

Talented and motivated group of people who are happy to help wherever possible. great extra curricular activities and organisation. casual dress code and snacks provided. Perfect for civil engineers looking to work in high tech but poor for other kinds of engineering.

Cons

Turnover rate is high on the construction modelling team due to the extremely repetitive work. Expect alot of waiting and alot of podcasts if working as an AEC specialist. It is expected that you work more than 40 hours a week or you are likely to be laid off. There is no compensation for overtime. This is company policy. Many projects require overtime to meet client deadlines. Raises and promotional opportunities are promised but few and far between. They promise to teach and improve your skills in CATIA but the skills and knowledge you learn are very specific to the construction industry so be sure that construction is the industry you want to work in when applying. The CEO initially comes off as being charismatic, motivational and is looking out for your best interests but overtime it is clear that he manipulates you to do what is best for the company which is precisely what CEO should do and you should be aware of that when dealing with him. Christmas bonuses do exist but there is no transparency about how they are given out.

Pros

1. Felt involved and valued as a junior employee: Had opportunities to work on meaningful tasks and gained exposure to a modern tech stack. 2. Lots of fun team events, often with free food and drink.

Cons

Onboarding were a little “figure it out as you go”, probably would’ve been smoother if my manager hadn’t been on vacation right after I joined.
