Pros

People, bottom line. To work at the Dennis Group and be successful you have to be above the average. Knowing that the people that you associate with are of that caliber makes it rewarding. It's like driving fast in a sports car vs driving fast in a rickety old truck. The sports car is so much more enjoyable and The Dennis Group is a sports car. The year end bonuses have been very rewarding, at least for me. Not sure how it is going to vette out in future years as new owners and management move into place but it is a concern on most of my former co-workers minds. Travel has been mostly enjoyable but the long hours on the road can be exhausting,

Cons

If you cant work long and hard under difficult deadlines you will not excel but that's true in any profession. You have to love what you are doing and if you don't love your work at DGL you should move on.

Pros

* Your coworkers are likely into their job. * Project Managers care a lot and your voice will be heard about the work going on. * You definitely have job security. * Insane amount of experience and quick it might be in the zone of your field that you wanted but you will get a ton of experience. (Might end up being site installation supervisor as a controls engineer)

Cons

* People do not believe in work life balance at DG the project matters more than you when you are in the thick of it. * They are definitely under staffed for the work they have going on and you will be required to work more because of it. * You will work a crazy amount of overtime with no overtime pay. I had to work over 70 hour weeks frequently for the same pay. * They will say the bonuses add up for the overtime... this is a lie especially as a beginner the bonus looks like another check if it is good. Not worth it when you basically worked double work weeks for most of the year.
