      Pros

      Nice work environment (except if working on HS2). Good work/life balance depending on project. Opportunity for growth if ICE CEng is achieved reasonably fast. Office usually located very close to major train stations.

      Cons

      Unclear career progression once CEng is achieved. Risk of being pigeonholed in the role, with very little room to expand expertise. Salary is pretty poor for technical staff. Very little (or no) investment for training.

      Pros

      Niche software dev BU followed through with employment offer after 6 month contract-to-hire period. Provided me FMLA and even additional 2 weeks paid maternity leave without any legal obligation. Hybrid remote/office-based strategy supported work-life balance. Employee-ownership of company strengthened team mentality. Improved my resource management skills, built network via enterprise training sessions, increased GIS and agile methodology domain knowledge, and learned interesting facts about sustainability and construction engineering environmental design dependencies. Also, I felt heard and valued after my project risk reporting was addressed by leadership and a major issue avoided.

      Cons

      My labor cost became commercially restrictive after leadership changes at a strategic client. I was impacted during an Oct. Reduction in Force post a re-org.
