Great company if you want to your hard work to be rewarded.

Project engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

At Carollo you get to work directly for the partners/owners of the company. Since you are directly working for the people that decide your salary, your hard work is rewarded. This is not a place where you can be a wallflower. Employees also get to interact with clients at a relatively young age.

Cons

Some of the offices are located in the suburbs, which are not ideal for younger employees. If you are not a water, wastewater, or civil engineer, there isn't a whole lot of opportunity for growth. Sometimes the partners seem to protect each other instead of making good business decisions.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good people and company values, a lot of work and technical resources available, they allow you to have a say in the projects you work on, flexible/hybrid WFH schedule

Cons

The career development process limits how many score categories you can move up each year, you can be there for YEARS before getting promoted. You are also stuck at entry level until PE is obtained (which is a long process in CA). Pay is really low compared to competitors. A lot of turnover/bad retention.
