Typical Toxic Corporate "Family" Culture

Civil engineer, eit

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Modern office (I guess?), a couple good people that genuinely care, that's about it. Decent pay.

Cons

Typical corporate culture of "joining a family" - i.e. sacrifice personal well-being for being under-budget and clawing up the ladder. Horrible work-life balance. Claims to offer "flexible schedule", but management expects you in your chair and available on teams 10 hours a day.

Authentic people you actually want to be friends with outside of work. Supportive leadership and lots of progress in creating an inclusive environment and celebrating unique backgrounds and perspectives.

Cons

Fast-paced environment with tight deadlines at times.
