Pros

Work with lots of different clients. Company has EOC contracts with most top utilities. Potential to work on many different things. Employee owned, stock options. Great for meeting other people in the industry and forming good personal relationships to use later in career. Also a good place for late-career engineers to wind down.

Cons

Very likely to become pigeon-holed in one task or type of work, and not be able to try new things. Some of this work unfortunately can be mind numbing and not challenging. Salary is mediocre for the industry, though the stock options are good. Management tends to place engineers in areas where workers are needed rather than areas of the engineers expertise or interest.

Pros

I enjoyed working with my colleagues - they brought a lot of experience and were wonderful to be around. No complaints about pay or benefits, have yet to pay out of pocket for routine eye, dental, or health exams. Some of the travel was cool.

Cons

PMs underbid projects like crazy. We'll have a good proposal drafted up and PM will say "cut 20%" with zero insight into the details and possible repercussions. Of course they disappear once the project is underway and the engineers have to answer for why the projects are out of money. OT is technically available, but since projects are on thin budgets from the start, there's never any available budget to use it. Leadership wants you 95% billable which makes everything cutthroat. People constantly fight over hours to make sure leadership doesn't come around asking why they have more than an hour of OH on their timesheet. I’ve had coworkers beg me for work. After spending a few days getting them hours, they were often no longer available, because they were trying to work on other projects as well. And although we were all fairly knowledgeable, we didn't have any internal standards, so we basically resorted to practices learned from previous jobs, which made for disjointed submittals.
