Pros

Big player in the local market who gets a lot of amazing high profile projects, lots of in house expertise, technically challenging but rewarding projects, good tools and processes, some of the best engineers I’ve worked with

Cons

Inflexible & micromanaging, PTO lags behind others & required a lot of hoops to jump through to get time off, grindy culture, expectation is OT every week

Firm reputation is good. Great people and culture.

Pros

Really like the people and the company. Mostly everyone is very nice and willing to help. Good mentorship, very knowledgable people, can almost always find an answer from someone. Tries to listen to their employees and implement change.

Cons

People are worked into the ground, but no one seems to mind. Not CRA's fault necessarily, more the industry as an entire whole that's just extremely busy (architects, contractors, etc...). The epitome of American work culture. Chances of moving up the ladder seem slim or would take forever. Pay could be better. Good luck taking a stress-free vacation.
