Engineering with enthusiasm

Pros

Creative, passionate and talented engineering professionals build up teams delivering outstanding projects. Punch well above their weight and compete successfully with much larger practices. Relaxed culture offering autonomy and a high level of responsibility at earlier career stages than other consultancies. Naturally diverse in most offices and very accepting of differences both personal and professional Good social side

Cons

Consensus decisions can take a while which can be a little frustrating Sometimes there is a lack of clear direction - this can allow for creative solutions to be offered up but those who prefer a structured environment may not thrive Salaries not the best in the industry but the balance of interesting projects, flexible environment and additional benefits helps
