Pros

Good experience at a reputable company. There are people who are willing to help you understand construction and ways to conduct business. Pay was better compared to similar companies assuming you work normal hours. Utilized certain programs that made work more efficient compared to other companies. Active efforts amongst peers, supervisor and upper management to have you engaged in the organization and build up your career. Emphasis on inclusion and building relationships among all employees.

Cons

Disorganization and mismanagement across the board. Having a flat organization is great for establishing mutual respect amongst all employees and a feeling of ownership to the project, but it can create chaos, lack of direction and expectation of having additional responsibilities that are not within your job description. Work/Life Balance is not good and expect to work long hours. Getting promoted takes longer compared to other companies even if you're over qualified for the position. Turnover is becoming more of a problem. You can have difficult people on your team that will make your projects miserable. Constant unnecessary tension between SPW and GC teams.
