      Pros

      People were easy to work with and managers were fair and understanding. They have a good variety of projects. The firm is growing both organically and through acquisitions. This is always good to hear for employees because it offers more opportunity and stability.

      Cons

      Pay is average for a firm of this size. Nothing special about the firm for the industry. They started cutting some portions of paid overtime for salary exempt employees and tried to sell it as industry standard (although not sure it is when weighing the rest of their benefits package). In 2019 they changed their vacation policy (amount of days accrued) so that it took longer to get more days unless you were high up in the management chain. This is all due to the ownership structure. The firm is owned by First Reserve and is not employee-owned. Engineers working at a more employee-focused (e.g. employee owned) firm would get better pay and benefits.

We take pride in our rigorous market research and have built a benefits package that is highly competitive within our industry. Although there have been some changes over the last couple of years to align our practices with those of our industry peers, there has also been significant progress in enhancing our health and welfare programs to offer more robust and affordable options to our staff. We will continue to be proactive with our approach to ensuring our benefits program meets or exceeds the need of our employees and their families.

      Pros

      Seeing a pattern of addressing only the pros and rarely having any accountibiloty to comments in Cons section, Pros will not be listed here.

      Cons

      -Hyper critical work culture to point that compromises employee personal and office morale -Almost no field support and field between on-site field team is almost impossible -Field supervisors are spread very thin in responsibility which causes the above issues -Employee personal dislikes are apparent on teams which lead to discordant team dynamics. Ex. Team member will laugh and joke with some team members, but other get professional, but near frigid responses. -Favoritism is rampant creating a less than ideal work environment.
