Pros

Variety in projects, project scope is larger than most companies (you get more exposure to more aspects of the project), project subject material is cool for an ME

Cons

Middle management doesn't have a clue what they are doing.

Pros

The remodel looks nice. There are finally bathrooms that I'm not afraid to use.

Cons

If you are not into playing political games...stay away. I was moved from one position to another to another because of "restructuring". Had my sales bouns taken away without additional compensation. If you do not promote yourself, your accomplishments will not be noticed or recognized. So toot your own horn loud and long...doesn't matter if it is real or true. My supervisor (a VP) didn't know what his empolyees duties were, so he had the department administrator compelte his portion of the departmental reviews. They were based on how much she liked you...not performance. If you don't like the smell of the septic tank...this isn't the place for you. The pumper truck is there like once a week to pump out the septic tank, I had to plug my nose on the walk from my car to the back door or gag from the smell.

Pros

It is company where engineer can learn and grow along the growth of company. You need to be enthusiastic, hardworking and passionate to learn. Very fast growing (experience will be very helpful).

Cons

Tighter project timelines in very fast growing pace company could be a challenge for new comers. On other hand, if you are passionate and you learn how do process in the company follows then you can manage your next projects in timely manner. Although upper management very challenging but they support their team and has willingness to listen to them.
