Pros

Good experience, good benefits, excellent co-workers. Company seems to genuinely care about their employees. Health and safety is the priority, they will not put you in a position that is unsafe.

Cons

You have to log all of your hours to a project, and theres only so much budget/time allocated to work on said project. If you are low on billable hours, you have to scramble to ask project managers for work and find tasks to bill to. If you work fast, theres no incentive to, if you work slow, you just eat the budget up and PMs won’t want you to work on their projects. Burn out seems inevitable.

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.
