      Pros

      Fantastic teams, great people, solid company leadership, super interesting work, solid compensation and benefits (except no sick time), flexible work options

      Cons

      Some policies and tools are quite clunky and outdated, if popular with the traditional engineering set, challenging to access creative communications folks for project work, lack of sick time separate from PTO (shocking in this day and age for a company that wants to attract more women and people of color)

      Pros

      Flexible hybrid schedule is very nice and starting salary is high for early career engineers.

      Cons

      The main people running the company are not engineers and you can tell. They are all focused on utilization with rates often set at 97% or higher. This had led to my supervisor asking/telling me to not charge company required trainings. As an early engineer it really feels like they don't want to invest in me and only care about their bottom line. If you are an early career structural engineer you will also not get any meaningful work until you've been with the company for at least 5 years. The senior engineers do not trust you and will only give you grunt work.
