Business Outlook

Pros

A wide variety of great engineering projects, vary large to very small, across several groups: transportation, civil, structural, project management. In general financially transparent. If you are self motivated and willing to speak up, you can work on what you want, develop your own clients.

Cons

This seems to be very limited growth above the PM level. Pay scale is in my experience low.
