Pros

Excellent, knowledgable and intelligent staff, great work atmosphere, great company to "get your foot in the door" and it gives you a great addition to your resume and portfolio.

Cons

GHD is growing and is acquiring more and more territory - and they are getting greedy. I was underpaid the entire length of my employment, but I took the job because I was an entry level. They don't give their staff enough opportunity to grow or get promoted, I asked numerous times because I craved more opportunity. They don't hand it out because they don't want to shell out the pay raises that come along with it - they'd rather use cheap labor, and replace employees as needed to maintain cheap salaries. I left GHD with a job offer that doubled my salary and then some, along with a promotion - this shows their way of compensating their employees.

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.
