Pros

Decent pay. Some good, technically competent people.

Cons

This company is riddled with terrible leadership that maintain a greater interest in their own careers than the success of the company. This attitude seeps into every aspect of operations and has created a pretty toxic environment where everyone is out for themselves and having to watch their back. They spend an inordinate amount of time planning for the coming year but resist execution of plans and long-term strategy, thereby stagnating growth. Much of this is an outcome of rapid growth through acquisition and no singular focus or understanding of how to market or operate as a large company.

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.
