Pros

Overall Mortenson is a great company to work for. You are given responsibility from the get go and are expected to do a good job with little supervision. But, if you don't know something or need help, all you have to do is ask. Company's open to new ideas/ways of doing thing. Company keeps good people, gets rid of the free-loaders.

Cons

Projects are somewhat military-minded, tough, but that's the nature of the business. Management doesn't give a lot of notification for temporary transfers (1 week). Upper management not very approachable.

Pros

- Huge company with a lot of resources. - Cool projects.

Cons

- Pay is not great especially for the amount of hours they want you to put in. - They do not pay for experience. So, it’s a good place to start, but if you have experience, go somewhere else. - They hire and promote way too quickly which means inexperienced people are in charge. - If you work in the field, you will be putting in 50-60 hours a week often and they justify it by saying you get subsistence. Do the math, you’re not getting paid very well at those hours even with subsistence. Also subsistence is a benefit for traveling, not justification for overusing employees. - While a lot of the people are good, it is a very political atmosphere.
