Pros

Great people and environment. Really laid back atmosphere but was a great place for an internship. Learned many aspects of engineering for Caltrans and benefited because of it

Cons

Lot of paperwork and takes a while to learn the system. Not all of the time is spent on engineering but if you plan on a career there it is great experience

Pros

Stable, chances for advancement (dependent on location), more time off the longer you stick around

Cons

Heavy red tape, Analysts may be tasked with supporting way too many needy employees from their own and other units, low morale as a result.
