Pros

Great company to quickly gain experience and contribute to a greater goal. Engineers/analysts are often given manager-level duties, so new hires become knowledgeable very quickly. Excellent reputation in the industry for high quailty and honest work. Proud of the projects Clark builds. High-profile buildings and critical infrastructure make a positive impact. Great volunteer opportunities in the communities where offices are located. Solid comraderie among hardworking people. Almost everyone is willing to act as a mentor or advocate. Very easy to make friends. People band together to form support networks. Good relationships = good opportunities down the line. I can't say enough about the fantastic people I work with every day!

Cons

Construction is not for those who want work-life balance or cushy amenities. No flexibility with remote work and bare minimum vacation time and holidays. Working at Clark can make it hard to have a social life with friends outside of the company because the hours are so demanding. Resistance to change and old-school company culture fostered by leaders with traditional values and expectations - could be a pro or con depending on your personal values. Difficult to advance past a certain level. Office politics play a large role in who gets what. Hierarchy is heavily structured. Middle-management has some power in making decisions for their teams, but direction is ultimately top-down. New employees are tasked with large responsibilities right off the bat - sink or swim. Expectation to put in very long hours, common to work 6 days a week to get the job done. Some job sites and departments are better than others, but most of my peers got burned out and left within 1-2 years of starting. Be prepared to work.

Pros

-Interesting projects -Exposure within the industry

Cons

-Almost every review I’ve seen everyone says over worked. They say it’s the industry but Clark is known in the construction world for that. Working 12 hours in the field in normal and expected. - they favor certain people and make them little mentees under long term employees. Those people are then given a gold star. -Departments who you think would care about their people ( HR and Communications do not) -become so woke yet don’t actually react -Make the new vacation policy look like a benefit but it’s actually less time and keeps them from having to pay out if you leave - take pride in “safety” but expect you to drive to work in a snowstorm because they cleared the parking lot. The amount of people that were amazed at that email is insane.
