Business Outlook

Pros

The events they plan are a lot of fun and they create a great community. They get tons of projects which means there is always something new.

Cons

Younger engineers are paid very little and it takes a long time to work up to a decent pay. Long hours are expected and while schedule is flexible, everyone seems to end up getting burnt out from the unrelenting schedule of project deadlines

Coffman Engineers Response

We do have a strong reputation in the Pacific which continues to bring in lots of interesting projects. Unfortunately, it is difficult to find people in the Honolulu market, which can exacerbate the work/life balance issue. I will continue to work on work-sharing options with other offices to lighten the load in Honolulu. Thanks for the feedback. Dave Ruff - CEO
