      Pros

      Work is diverse across 5 states Work ia interesting

      Cons

      Very low pay below industry average Long hours with no promotion in sight Manager really bad: no followup, meddles when not needed, not in sight when needed, ignores you, penalizes youand doesn't reward good work, very bare minimum supervision, months without talking to you or following up, field work most of the time, rude arrogant belittling if you don't believe me try for yourself!

      Pros

      As a national firm, GFT has a huge emphasis and impact on many transportation and infrastructure projects, and work quite heavily with many DOTs/federal organizations. I also appreciated the diversity present within my office and leadership teams, which is a huge positive for minorities.

      Cons

      Mentorship opportunities are practically non-existent. I worked in a location which was WFH 2 days a week, and a lot of the staff would be bogged down with many projects at hand, unable to regularly provide help. A few of the senior engineers at my office in particular were condescending to junior staff. Huge expectation on junior staff to produce high results without very little instruction and oversight. Also freakishly annoying with utilization rates and work tracking.
