Pros

Good 401(k) match Good product mix Can-do attitude Good surveying technology

Cons

Attrition rate is 25% in the best of times, which is 5 times normal. This contributes to a culture of backstabbing. Middle management hoards information so they will look more capable and in a downturn they will not be let go. Middle management lies on a regular basis.

Pros

Variety of projects and latest technology and software.

Cons

Equity investor ownership means all that matters is profits. Negotiate the highest salary possible. Be wary of offer that includes a bonus as investors and senior leaders get their bonuses before anyone else. Offices in other states and regions frequently go into neighboring states and regions to get their sales. Runs more like a bunch of individual companies than one cohesive unit.
