Pros

The size of the firm is really great. I get the impression that I can reach my career goals more easily than in a big firm. Management seems to genuinely care about employees which isn't always common in this industry. They are very transparent with company information. Overtime can be converted to comp time.

Cons

In previous years, I've heard that there were layoffs so that can be concerning. However, I think BWSC has done a great job of doing business development during the time I've been here. PTO is also fairly low compared to other places I've worked, but as mentioned above, overtime hours can be converted to comp time, so that helps.

Pros

BWSC was a great place to work. I enjoyed the people and the projects!

Cons

BWSC invests in their people and makes them a priority. Due to a lower workload, a downsize had to occur. When a reduction in force happens you let go of some people that needed to go before the reduction or you let go of some valued employees that just didn't have a heavy enough workload (for a while without a change in outlook on the horizon). Either way, I believe BWSC uses any layoff as a last resort.

Pros

Employee owned company and shares are distributed across 80% of firm, with no one person having more than 5%. Medium sized engineering firm, with good leadership.

Cons

Recent Lay-offs with a lot of high paid overhead.
