Pros

Stable company; great benefits; convenient metro location

Cons

Certain departments have strict core hours, with NO flexibility. Also restrictions on how and when you can use PTO. If you value your work/life balance, be sure you have clear expectations on hours and PTO up front and factor this in your decision as to whether or not you want to work here. Mortenson is not in the current millennium in regards to work/life balance.

Pros

- Huge company with a lot of resources. - Cool projects.

Cons

- Pay is not great especially for the amount of hours they want you to put in. - They do not pay for experience. So, it’s a good place to start, but if you have experience, go somewhere else. - They hire and promote way too quickly which means inexperienced people are in charge. - If you work in the field, you will be putting in 50-60 hours a week often and they justify it by saying you get subsistence. Do the math, you’re not getting paid very well at those hours even with subsistence. Also subsistence is a benefit for traveling, not justification for overusing employees. - While a lot of the people are good, it is a very political atmosphere.
