Pros

Flexible working Pay is good

Cons

- Management lacked long-term vision; decision-making was short-sighted - Company unstable due to repeated redundancies, forced annual leave, and limited pipeline of new projects - Leadership showed little understanding of the digital design process and were unwilling to listen; discipline lead provided little to no support - Motivated and hardworking staff were unappreciated, with management repeatedly relying on them to ‘firefight’ issues instead of addressing root causes or supporting skills development.

Pros

Great starting point as an internship, gives you good experience to the professional and consulting world, pay for an engineering intern is satisfactory. Values of the company and support from coworkers is appreciated. Seems to be a psychologically safe place to work and make mistakes. No noticeable workplace toxicity or politics. Everyone seems to be authentic and chill. Not noticing anyone keeping their heads down and received reports of satisfaction with work environment from coworkers. Exposure to a variety of projects, including field work experiences. Seems to be a solid resume builder.

Cons

Need to be pretty proactive for work. For me who enjoys having work to do, its kind of stressful. You have to take initiative in making your own plan. For someone who thrives in structure and needs a bit of help in planning, this is a struggle. Limited flexibility in doing a hybrid role (even though job description stated it was when I applied) For someone who is 42 mi from the office and with heavy traffic takes 1h 15 min to reach the office, its a struggle. But I understood that my commute time is longer than average when I took the position.
