Business Outlook

Pros

I like the diversity of projects. Equal division of transportation, site development and international work. Take your pick. It's satisfying to see and work on so many projects that define Portland and the surrounding towns - Portland Airport, Convention Center, Oregon Zoo, Chinese and Japanese Gardens, East Bank Esplanade, multiple buildings and bridges, etc. It's never boring.

Cons

Could use more mid level staff.

Business Outlook

Pros

Decisions are made at the local level, engaged principals and project managers, excellent company culture, wide variety of projects, great people

Cons

Sometimes there seems like there is too much work to get done, but that's what you'd expect when we have so many great repeat clients and large projects. You also get a lot of help during crunch times.
