Pros

The culture within our Company makes this a great place to work. Hard work is recognized and appreciated, making this a very fulfilling place to work. I have been with the Company for five years and am continually impressed with our strong leadership. The Company's leadership roles are filled with a great blend of younger and veteran leaders, which is a sign that leadership positions are available to all those who possess the necessary skills and attributes, not just reserved for those who have been with the Company for a long time. The recent leadership transition has been smooth and the outlook is bright. It is evident that much planning went into the transition plan. Our Company has a philanthropic attitude that is evident in our offices and the communities that we live and work within. I have been impressed by the Company's eagerness to get involved to help those in need and create a strong presence within our local community.

Cons

Our Anchorage office is located in downtown, which is great, but also means that space is limited. The downside being that parking can be tight and personal offices are scarce. Much of our work space is comprised of cubicles, which makes for a generally relaxed work environment and encourages face-to-face collaboration, but can sometimes be distracting to others where the additional privacy of an office would be nice for those who spend much of their time on the phone with clients and co-workers.

Coffman Engineers Response

Thanks for the feedback regarding the leadership transition that we have recently navigated through. You are correct that we put a lot of time and energy into the plan. It is nice to hear your confirmation that the plan was well executed. Replacing a founder is a monumental transition for any company to go through. We have done our best to honor Dave Coffman and Pat Piermattei throughout the whole process. They have done their best to coach the new leaders and let go of the reigns. We are as unified as ever and the future continues to look bright. We look out for each other and as you highlighted, we look out for our communities. Office space has always been a struggle. Some professional services firms have gone to a zero office format to emphasize the importance of collaboration. Others have mostly private offices. Striking a balance between the two has it's drawbacks, but the collaborative environment mixed with the ability to have private/confidential conversations is a benefit to our culture. We will continue to strive to do our best for our employees, our clients, and our communities. Dave Ruff - President

Pros

Awesome work culture. They are big on getting your work done rather than needing to stay in office longer than necessary. I also got a lot of hands on experience.

Cons

Hiring process is a little late in the year ~April for students trying to get internships.
