High Turnover! Burned out! Never ending deadlines!
Pros
There is generally good collaboration with individuals with different skill sets and knowledge base. Work from home 2 days a week.
Cons
Civil engineering team is run by one female dictator. The deadlines never ended. The moment one was met, another appeared, then another, like the firm had built its entire operation around permanent urgency and chronic exhaustion. Weekend work and long hours were not occasional exceptions; they were baked into the culture and treated as if they were proof of commitment instead of evidence of broken planning. Overworking people while pretending the problem was efficiency rather than management failure. The annual review process was the final insult. It often felt less like a review and more like a scripted exercise in corporate mumbo jumbo, with the outcome already decided long before the meeting began. It is a fat bloated corporate culture for keeping people overworked, underpaid, while trying to extract everything out of you. There is VERY HIGH TURNOVER, with people quitting regularly it makes morale extremely low. DEPLORABLE!!!
