Pros

- Company will create custom opportunities that fit an employee's interests and skills in order to retain/engage that employee - Leadership genuinely cares about the well-being of each employee - Passionate employees and leaders (we build cool things and everyone is very driven by that mission) - Very social atmosphere, many people are friends outside of the workplace - Strong business and financials, no fear of losing job due to poor financial management - Culture of innovation and collaboration - Genuinely seeking continuous improvement, from construction management to people management to business management. Executive leadership is self-aware of the issues and are investing in making it better. - Diversity in kinds of opportunities due to project and geographic breadth as well as Clark's many subsidiaries (Clark Concrete, Atkinson, Edgemoor, C3M, etc.) - Huge responsibility and leadership opportunities at a young age - Executive leadership is accessible and wants to listen

Cons

- Some residual legacy "old-school" culture with older managers (less flexible work mindset, you should just sacrifice for the job, discouraging of taking paternity leave, don't value soft skills, etc.) - Your experience is very much defined by your manager and project team which can vary tremendously across the company. May have a really positive experience in one place and poor experience on your next job. The company has several initiatives to work on this, but can still be an issue. - No clear/streamlined way to move through company (different regions or business units). All dependent on having an engaged manager who looks out for you. - Baseline benefits. Could improve amount of vacation time and be more progressive with benefit options (extended mat leave, PTO vs vacation/sick days, flexible working, paid commuting, etc)

Pros

Some benefits and activities. Nice office space. Some good colleagues

Cons

The organization is highly bureaucratic, and in my experience, there was often a lack of clear direction while expectations remained exceptionally high. Some executives expected results without providing sufficient context or guidance, making it difficult to succeed consistently. There appears to be a high level of turnover, and there is a strong preference for all Executive Assistants to work in the same style as a favored individual rather than recognizing different, yet equally effective, approaches. Initiative and autonomy were not always valued. The company requires Executive Assistants to work in the office five days a week with little to no flexibility. Additionally, discussions around compensation, such as requesting a salary increase or bonus, can sometimes coincide with increased scrutiny of performance. Minor issues may be disproportionately emphasized during performance reviews, potentially affecting compensation decisions. Collaboration across offices was another challenge. Working with Executive Assistants in other locations could be frustrating due to inconsistent responsiveness, limited cooperation, and, at times, a condescending approach. Scheduling was particularly difficult because the CEO’s Executive Assistant held significant influence over calendar decisions, and meetings could be canceled or declined without much consideration for the needs of other executives, creating ongoing coordination challenges.
