Pros

Fast growing company, excellent for entrepreneur types. Adding some experienced management and making investments in professional development. Flexible work schedule. You are given the opportunity to grow without micro managing everything. Competitive salaries.

Cons

Growing pains. Systems need to be upgraded and more structure needed. As new companies come on board, make sure that there is a strong emphasis on integration.

Pros

Challenging work, co-workers are amazing, great support structure, growth opportunities, recognition for hard work, competitive compensation and benefit packages.

Cons

NV5 has experienced some growing pains. Going from a small company to a mid size company in a short amount of time has shown some weak areas, but management seems to tackle issues that arise efficiently. I expect that over time, the growing pains will subside leaving the opportunity to be more proactive.

Pros

I can't think of any, aside from being nearby where I live, but now that makes no difference to me. Stay clear if you actually value you're livelyhood and outcome of you're career.

Cons

They are under staffed, and expect results with out any planning or direction. The engineers above you throw you under the bus for their poor planning and empty promises. The company owners and executives hire and fire with out any concern for your well being or career.
