Pros

Lots of opportunities to gain experience with the projects flowing in regularly. As a young engineer, I've learned a lot so far. The office is very laid back and hours are relatively flexible. They've hired a lot of experienced retired engineers from utilities to help the younger engineers with projects. Definitely a good learning environment - can't stress that enough.

Cons

The company need to compensate employees better. There are many in the office who work their tails off, get their PE license and leave because managers refuse to dish out the cash to keep them on board. This is causing a loss of talent and retention is slipping. With the retires mentioned earlier not getting any younger, management has to realize they need to retain their talent. Also, we hire so many young engineers who don't do anything for years and drive up overhead costs, which really upsets people who work hard every day and their bonuses/raises are chump change. There is a massive bottleneck in the management systems. Managers need to start delegating power to those they have been training for years. Continuing this way will not work. There is corporate involvement and everything seems underdeveloped. In general I think the company is pretty cheap.

Pros

The people are amazing and I love my team. I also really enjoy the type of remediation we do.

Cons

I don't think pay reflects the job level or stress. It is also difficult to keep up with performance indicators when management does not give enough work to meet them.
