Pros

Working at Ghafari has been one of the best experiences of my life. Every single person in this company has their own place or value unlike at many other firms. All the managers and principals really do care about their teams and genuinely want everyone to do well. This is a company where young engineers can learn from some of the most experienced principals. I witnessed this company grow immensely in the years I worked there. I highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking become a leader in the industry by working on the best projects.

Cons

Can't really think of any.

Pros

Respect from my peers and staff - the staff is very friendly and personable. I enjoy coming into the office everyday. Great mentorship and mentors. I cannot stress how important it is to find a mentor that will elevate and inspire you - I have had several mentors at Ghafari already that I know I've developed lifelong connections with. There are a lot of opportunities to take on leadership roles, especially in new and exciting projects - I never thought I would be able to contribute to such high profile projects so soon. I've learned so much in the almost 3 years I've been working there. Evolving departments based on industry needs, they provide the training and coaching to keep up with deadlines.

Cons

I’m trying to think of something but I’ve got nothing.
