Pros

supportive and friendly culture, good work–life balance with flexible arrangements, and strong opportunities for learning and development through diverse international projects. Staff also value the collaborative team environment and the company’s strong reputation in the engineering and consultancy sector.

Cons

At certain times, there are fewer tasks available than employees, which makes it rather difficult to complete the timesheet each Friday.

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.
