Pros

- Nice and passionate people - Interesting subject material - Good office location

Cons

- bad management - 401K match paid out as a 3 year cliff vest in stock (should be illegal) - limited bonus and pay increases - when our company was bought by NV5 is when it all started to go down hill. - they are a company that gobbles up other companies to juice their own valuation and has the worst integration execution imaginable
