Pros

I'm biased - I love my company! What's to love? Great people first and foremost! My colleagues are life-long friends - I enjoy working with them and succeeding together! Smart and interesting clients, and a new-renewed focus to become a progressive engineering company that blends architecture\engineering and geospatial services. Although we are a 100+ year old firm, we have a new strategic plan that is helping us operate and make decisions as a single firm (not separate silos). This is propelling us to new heights of performance where we are growing in size and in profitability and rewarding those that help move us forward.

Cons

Honestly, we still have work to do become one of the best firms in America...in the world...but we are going to get there...We are making significant headway. It pains me to read some of the negative comments about this firm I so love - but as much as we try, we will not please all the people all the time. Consistent performance that brings consistent rewards will help us realize company greatness faster. I think we are building the processes, retaining and hiring the right people, and have the passion to do this.

Pros

Employees are passionate about their work and their customers. Flexibility is really great, the ability to work remotely when so many other companies are forcing people back to the office is a big plus. People are genuinely nice and want to help each other which is not something you find at every company.

Cons

A lot of change, but that is to be expected with how much the company is growing.

Pros

Flexibility, sense of ownership in your work, some great people

Cons

The bonus was below industry standard and is formulated per how well the entire company does. This isn’t fair that some of the company that doesn’t do well affects everyone else, especially when we can’t hire enough people to do the work.
