Pros

Smaller local office feels like a smaller company at times, pays well, great variety of work projects.

Cons

Organization is overly bureaucratic, a rigid management structure and a lot of policies/procedures/red tape to wade through. Diversity/inclusion and sustainability are new focuses that are emphasized in a big way.

Pros

Decent culture, individual contributors are fine, management is lacking

Cons

The company operates like many smaller companies depending on which business market you are in so your experience will vary. For some, it's the best company, others will say it's the worst; it just depends on your region/group even at the local level. Water/wastewater is a good market in most offices, transportation is hit an miss depending on location.
