Pros

Things SEEMED great before one of the founders retired, executives retired, and policies changed that forced a mass exodus of share-holder executives, and very hardworking personnel. They have a handful of great people, otherwise there’s a huge amount of turnover.

Cons

Disorganized, masked as “continual improvement” via endless procedural meetings, changes, and arguing over how to complete the simplest of tasks. 95% of the weight is carried by the top 5% of people willing to pull all-nighters to cover for those who cut out early. Pretend to care about your best interest. XL Bucks - a great incentive to pat each other off the back for what should be common decency. How many people does it take to finish a bid package? About 7-15, depending on who decides the meeting is worth their time. Even though 1-2 people did any real work to support it. Bonuses are fair unless you’re getting your bonus because someone else met the group marker for you. Promotions based on gender and ethnicity over performance, all in the name of diversity.

Pros

Company continues to look for market growth opportunities with some opportunities for individual advancement. Recognition in the region as a top GC firm.

Cons

The change in leadership has created some culture changes which tends to feel more bureaucratic and top heavy. Market sector alignment has created too much of a "vertical structure" and created "pigeon holing" of employees.
