Good culture

Pros

I liked the overall culture. The company philosophy is very much about work/life balance. From top management on down you'll find that folks support a balanced approach. As a consulting engineering firm they do good work, care about their clients and work to ensure quality engineering is delivered. The company delegates project related decision making as far down as possible, which empowers engineers and PM's to make the right decisions for clients.

Cons

Pay structure for the consulting business is on the lower end of the spectrum in my experience. I wasn't dissatisfied with my own pay, but when hiring new employees with hard to find skill sets it could be a challenge. Company is very busy which is a pro, con to that is finding new work can be frustrating as finding internal resources to perform the work is a challenge.

Good place to start

Pros

Friendly atmosphere, flexible schedule, and just about as much overtime as you choose. They are open to letting you try new things or travel to gain more experience in certain specialties of design.

Cons

Besides the low salary there is a tendency towards micro managing at every level from designers to area lead managers. This could be due to the somewhat fast growth of certain areas of the company and its struggle to keep their small scale ideals going with the large scale reality. Once the kinks are worked out it may be better.

Pros

The atmosphere is great. People are friendly and welcoming, benifits are good, salary is good for the state of Idaho (that isn't saying much). Overall, I would recommend a friend to come work here.

Cons

It's starting to lose its small company feel. There is a definite good ol' boys club of owners.
