Pros

Plenty of Traffic Control Plan and PEPCO work

Cons

(1) Principal makes extremely rude remarks, inappropriate for inside the office or in a progressive society in general. Principal comments on someone's race/ethnicity, and brag about manipulating other consultants or client representatives over conference calls. Complaints filed to HR don't do anything, partly bc principal has endless contractual work with PEPCO. (2) The senior principal values PEPCO underground electric contracts over actual land development contracts (keep in mind this is a land development firm) bc it guarantees work. (3) The office has a history of losing employees. (4) Principal gives 6% pay raises to women, and only 1% pay raises to men.

Pros

You will be working with great minds. People have their niches expertise and it’s wonderful to learn from them. Very professional and respectful behavior. Doesn’t feel like other consulting firms where you’re worked like a dog.

Cons

Sometimes it’s hard to build consistent work because people tend to hold on to their projects rather than transferring to junior staff and it’s mainly because the pressure to be billable is high.
