Pros

Very good team culture and team bonding on projects. The bonding is inspired by the project managers / directors. Project engineers have a good learning experience from senior engineers and project managers.

Cons

Sometimes looking at competitors can be beneficial to learn from but from my experience the company can be too ignorant to look at outside strategies. Workloads can be unevenly distributed to those who are willing to work hard. Some sneak by without putting in much work.

Pros

Great company culture, exposure to some amazing projects, project teams are fantastic, camaraderie with your team, great resources and onboarding to ensure you learn to do your job well. ESOP and bonuses are great.. if you stick it out long enough.

Cons

Pay is not as competitive as other GC's, you can be relatively underpaid as they rely too heavily on preaching about the ESOP (which takes you 5 years to even be fully vested). Can be very political and leadership kinda plays favorites, some people who dont deserve it get promoted quick and others who do deserve it never get promoted. Long work hours and depending on the jobsite it can be pretty high-stress (but thats just construction for ya).
