Pros

Seemed like a relatively progressive atmosphere from the outside looking in. They do a large number of Phase I jobs that are their bread and butter.

Cons

They are looking to cherry-pick talent and contracts from other companies. Happens all the time but with no real apparent vision to go along with the ambition. Additionally, they have a small-scale mindset that prohibits larger-scale contract acquisition at least on the environmental/compliance side of things. Rather sketchy interview process that lacks professionalism. (Three interviews later). They never bother to call back or send a letter informing you of the decision making process.

Pros

You have sustainable hours for construction but there is mandatory overtime (The most I’ve done is 51 hours in a week), they pay you enough to live on, it’s good experience, upper management pays lip service to workers rights, there is genuine concern and regulation from management to provide you an emotionally and physically safe place to work, you’re never really rushed to do your job, and you do have the right to stop work

Cons

You need a degree in engineering or geology to move up and you have to threaten to move offices or take another job to get a pay raise. It’s not unionized.
