Pros

The environment around the office feels very open and inviting. There have been very few people I wouldn't feel comfortable going to a question with. Management understands that life happens and can be flexible as long as you talk with them about the situation. Great amount of engineering and revit resources and a lot of experience within the office. With the amount of people who have been here 10+ years it shows that there is a lot of abilities to advance your career, however I have been here less than 1 year so it is only an observation. Great office location in downtown Portland. Great support staff within the office.

Cons

Interface does a 401(k) profit sharing at the end of the year instead of matching for each paycheck. I prefer the matching for each paycheck into the 401(k) because I know how much I will be getting for retirement. I don't know how much the 401(k) profit sharing will add to my 401(k) and would prefer if they guaranteed a minimum amount they contributed.

Pros

- Highly focused on employee professional development and kwowldedge attainment. A learning organization. - Exceptional, collaborative culture - especially now as a 100% employee- owned ESOP firm. - Industry leader in technical and process accumen in the building design and consulting space. - World class culture with a respectful, safe, professional, working environment. - Stable and thriving organization that sustains and enhances culture while growing in a mindful manner.

Cons

- Not really a con, but we are so successful that we have the highest project backlog in our company's 50+ year history; the challenge is to manage growth to maintain our very special culture during expansion.

Pros

Decent company benefits, hybrid work schedule.

Cons

Poor HR that took over 4mo to provide some benefits, and over 6mo for others due to no formal onboarding. Electrical technical leads have no experience in the modern programs, making decisions based on 20+ yr old tech. Poor word choice in emails is a common issue amongst electrical leadership. Many PMs are more focused on looking busy by pushing emails rather than doing work or training, could easily be replaced with non-technical personnel and be more efficient while letting PEs lead more projects. Too many non-integrated systems and no privileges means doing things the dumb way. Everyone is an “associate” so it means nothing.
