Pros

- Good colleagues and senior who are willing to share their experience - Able to get exposed to many different building projects mainly in the UK - Opportunities for site visit in London - The director will be a perfect mentor if you are willing to sit for IStructE exam - I learned all the fundamental and important structural analysis and design skills (and sketching!) while working for BardenChapman. I did steel building design, CAT 3 crane base check, timber structure design (which is now a famous bar in Central London), and many other miscellaneous works. - There is a table tennis table in the office, which is very fun if you want to take a break with your colleagues. - In general, working in BardenChapman has made a very good start for my career as a structural engineer.

Cons

I won't say it is necessarily a downside. But life will be easier if you have skills for multi-tasking and good time management, just like any other jobs.
