Pros

I truly enjoyed working with the staff while I was there, and several of the projects were more interesting than the usual water resources projects that one might be tasked with. The interaction between my colleagues and I was usually very good, even though it took a bit to get used to communicating solely via Slack and emails since we all worked from home and were in different cities and/or states.

Cons

The amount of daily Slack messages and emails seemed excessive, even for a non-traditional work environment (pre-Covid) where we all worked from home. I try to "disconnect" from work and having to read work messages - except in certain cases under unusual circumstances or for a special project - after a certain time in the evening, but there seemed to be a daily round of messages & emails that would appear on my phone many times after 10 PM or even after midnight. There was also a very high rate of employee turnover that I have not seen in other companies of this size.

Pros

A good small business where you can develop your skills and learn from people with lots of experience. Owner is very down to earth and approachable.

Cons

You need a high level of independence to do well at this company. Not necessarily a con for everyone, but if you need help you might have to initiate the conversation.

Pros

Remote work, pay, not much else. You might promote quickly.

Cons

HIgh turnover due to unreasonable work expectations . Jennifer (owner) takes on more work assignments than the firm can handle, similar to how home contractors always hustling business While 100% remote, a lot of big brother technology to make sure you are glued to your computer. No respect for work hours/boundaries. No work life balance..
