Pros

Most of the people are friendly. The upper management thinks highly of the employees and extends nice perks such as paying for food trucks to cater lunch, etc.

Cons

The upper management is blind to the mismanagement of departments by middle managers and the dysfunction between departments. The architecture group in particular is a disorganized mess that lacks structured leadership, vision and direction. It is led by an abusive, narcissistic leadership that thrives on maintaining a reputation of accomplishment is not at all supported by high quality clients or meager amount of work they have on the boards or have completed. The lack of structure leads to stressful, chaotic environment and poor project management and poorly executed, low quality or outright failed projects measured by profitability, design, and and quality of documents. The egotistical management thrives on compliments and achieves this by preferential hiring of millennial aged workers and younger. This leads to an inexperienced and poorly trained workforce ill equipped to manage the projects in the absense of competent leadership. The architecture department is a toxic work environment. I regret having been lured to leave a good job to work here and will leave as soon as possible.

Pros

Small growing company therefore plenty of opportunities to grow and contribute. The bridge group is small therefore you get greater responsibility in each project at a younger level which presents a great opportunity to learn. The senior engineers and the department head are very knowledgeable and always available to help and mentor you. Good work life balance and decent amount of vacation time.

Cons

Compensation and benefits are getting better over time but still need to catch up with bigger competitors.

Pros

Everyone I met seemed very helpful and super easy to get along with. I was super excited when I joined.

Cons

When I arrived I dealt with broken and mismanaged equipment. The survey rod I was provided my first week was clearly bent at the top. My back sight lense was also somehow bent. They had their guys load and prep my truck which seemed nice. However they left tribrachs not in the case and just sitting on the back seat and I didn't have all the equipment I needed. The first week I was with an employee who was helping me get learn their systems and get up to speed. So I took his advice, then I was sent out with another employee who did things not even remotely the same and seemed suprised when I told him. Clearly they had issues with communication and leadership. I had to make time for my training videos since I wasn't given any. Also the chargers didn't work so my equipment was dying and then they finally gave me a reliable charger. Despite all of this I showed up early and tried to complete projects as best as I could. They then said THEY felt they were lied too and thought I wasn't trying. Meanwhile I witnessed another crew hiding in the parking lot playing on their phones to kill time so they weren't back too early. I have experience and the work I was doing was all things I previously doing. I am not a mind reader, I just wanted to grow, learn, and provide high quality work as quickly as possible.
