Pros

Amazing career opportunities, stable company with interesting work. Amazing stock options.

Cons

Little to no employee training, you need to be able to learn on the job and quickly. Employee Perks/ Appreciation events are very low, the least amount of paid holidays off compared to industry competitors (no MLK, Presidents Day etc.), Diversity and Inclusion is nearly non-existent, the company's workload expectations are not realistic (above industry average), workplace flexibility is not compatible with AEC industry standards.

Pros

The 401k is good, that's it..

Cons

The main complaint is having to beg for work within the company. They don't have enough work to give you and then complain that your overhead is too high. Communication and training is terrible. I've sent numerous emails to coworkers only to be ignored. You have to keep reaching out for someone to respond to you. The project managers also don't budget the labor for their projects well. They're very tight about how many hours you should spend on an assignment and it's often unreasonable, like read and compare a 600+ page document to a 300+ page technical document in 2 work days. The health insurance sucks too. Things that used to be covered are no longer covered such as basic labs. The insurance carrier is always denying services such as an MRI.
