Pros

Management seems to care about people, especially if you become one of the chosen few. A lot of exposure to interesting projects as Clark is the undisputed leader in the DC area. Recognizable brand name.

Cons

Most people are overworked and underpaid. Management can't seem to make any decisions, and go as far as to promise things and never deliver. On one hand they don't get rid of people who should be let go, but they also don't promote people and allow staff to stagnate so the ambitious people leave. Anything other than straight construction is not a priority (green building, water, energy, P3, etc.). Clark hires a few hundred new college grads each year and loses most of them, as there are very limited opportunities to move up, with the exception of slogging it out and waiting for your peers to quit leaving you the only one to promote.

Pros

-Interesting projects -Exposure within the industry

Cons

-Almost every review I’ve seen everyone says over worked. They say it’s the industry but Clark is known in the construction world for that. Working 12 hours in the field in normal and expected. - they favor certain people and make them little mentees under long term employees. Those people are then given a gold star. -Departments who you think would care about their people ( HR and Communications do not) -become so woke yet don’t actually react -Make the new vacation policy look like a benefit but it’s actually less time and keeps them from having to pay out if you leave - take pride in “safety” but expect you to drive to work in a snowstorm because they cleared the parking lot. The amount of people that were amazed at that email is insane.
