A Place to Look Forward to Work - Engineer I Wilson Engineering Employee Review

I've worked for civil firms at both ends of the spectrum - small, family-run businesses, and multi-discipline, 100+ engineer firms. Both had their pro's and con's, but I've found Wilson to be the perfect mix of each. Like the bigger companies, Wilson has a ton of resources for engineers, from the latest CAD and modeling software and in-house survey, to over 60 years in business. But like a smaller company, I get to interact with the principals on a daily basis and have learned so much from their wealth of experience as a result, whereas at the bigger firms I've worked at, there was considerably less interaction or sharing of knowledge.

This is really not a big deal, but if I had to list a con - as a project engineer typically working under several project managers on various projects, sometimes it can be tough to know how to prioritize my tasks for the various projects, and allocate my time appropriately. At firms I've worked for in the past, lower level staff have more-or-less had their tasks for each week dictated after the PM group has coordinated their various project deadlines and staff needs. Wilson recently rolled out a new system to address this, and it seems to be working well so far to identify schedule conflicts, etc.
