      Pros

      The team I work with is highly knowledgeable in their respective fields. Within my team, work-life balance is respected. Our leadership is mostly transparent. Robust professional development system. The ability to give your fellow teammates awards with monetary value for their contributions is pretty cool.

      Cons

      The company seems to be falling behind on pay. Many of my colleagues at our competitors are getting paid more than us across various disciplines. Leadership is weird about paying for you to attend conferences and courses for professional development.

      Pros

      Flexible hybrid schedule is very nice and starting salary is high for early career engineers.

      Cons

      The main people running the company are not engineers and you can tell. They are all focused on utilization with rates often set at 97% or higher. This had led to my supervisor asking/telling me to not charge company required trainings. As an early engineer it really feels like they don't want to invest in me and only care about their bottom line. If you are an early career structural engineer you will also not get any meaningful work until you've been with the company for at least 5 years. The senior engineers do not trust you and will only give you grunt work.
