Pros

There are a handful of interesting project and interesting locations if you’re lucky enough to assigned to one

Cons

There’s zero communication and most of the time you’ll have no idea who to go to for the info you need. It’s not uncommon to have 10 different engineers from 3 different offices on a project. The mechanical engineer will not know or care who the electrical engineer is or even what office they’re in. The drawings will be half empty and poorly thought out since the engineers will never be onsite. Good luck ever getting ahold of your PM. The company is just a revolving door. They hire young engineers, pay them pennies, and then burn them out within a year. Then the site folks are left to try and piece it together. If you can handle the office politics, blatant favoritism, poor pay, and long hours you can scrape up some knowledge and experience. Far easier ways to go about it though.

Pros

Easy going office, friendly workers

Cons

Lack of management and development. The projects all need to be completed and there is a lack of review. Its normally a reactive environment than a proactive one.

Pros

Working at DG gave me ability to see new places and meet amazing people. I was able to earn experience at a fast paste.

Cons

Being away of family. This company is great for single people or those who hate their family. The company does not care about people personal life, neither respect it. Direct co-workers are great, but PM/Jr Partners not so good.

Thank you for your feedback! The commenter is correct: DG is a fast-paced environment. We are an international design-build firm and the nature of our work can mean time away from the office on project sites. Travel varies by discipline, but it is a part of the job for many of our employees. That said, we endeavor to balance travel and personal time as much as possible. DG implemented an open vacation policy for the express purpose of helping employees maintain a healthy work-life balance - with those that travel often first in mind. If you’re interested in a position at DG but have questions about travel requirements, please reach out to our People & Management team at careers@dennisgroup.com so we can help find the right position for you.
