Pros

Communication is good from the CEO/President. There are many organizations/groups to join. Facilities are nice. Good insurance available.

Cons

No room for advancement, always reorganizing the company's structure. PTO program is very limiting, you have to accrue PTO. After 10 years of employment, I barely get 18 days of PTO (this includes sick time). Raises are very unfairly given, favoritism exists and is very apparent with certain managers. Extremely hard to get ahead regardless of education and experience.

Pros

As a national firm, GFT has a huge emphasis and impact on many transportation and infrastructure projects, and work quite heavily with many DOTs/federal organizations. I also appreciated the diversity present within my office and leadership teams, which is a huge positive for minorities.

Cons

Mentorship opportunities are practically non-existent. I worked in a location which was WFH 2 days a week, and a lot of the staff would be bogged down with many projects at hand, unable to regularly provide help. A few of the senior engineers at my office in particular were condescending to junior staff. Huge expectation on junior staff to produce high results without very little instruction and oversight. Also freakishly annoying with utilization rates and work tracking.
