Pros

Great company, starting at the top. Humble, selfless and experienced leadership help build strong engineers and employees. Professional work environment and up-to-date technology throughout the building allows me to maximize my capabilities and efficiency. Pape-Dawson continuously provides training to its employees to build their growth. My experience from working for two other engineering firms other than Pape-Dawson is that PD provides excellent benefits, including overtime pay and generous end-of-year bonuses. Other perks include annual picnic and Christmas party, Spurs tickets (along with other local sporting events), rodeo and broadway tickets. Pape-Dawson values itself in being involved in the community through volunteering just as much as it does in the work we put out, which speaks volumes to the character of the firm.

Cons

Cannot use PE stamp on projects as this is designated for upper management.

Pros

I am very grateful for all opportunities given to me since I started working at PD, and could not imagine working anywhere else in San Antonio. My coworkers hold themselves to the highest standards, which makes my job rewarding and fun. The company is always looking for ways to take care of its employees and make an impact in the community. My salary and benefits are very satisfying. Paid overtime is great. Amazing, new office building in San Antonio.

Cons

Would like to see more flexibility in work hours and vacation time. The work is fast paced, which might not be a good fit for everyone.

Pros

I have worked at Pape-Dawson for over 20 years and have found it to be a great place to work. The owners are active in the company and expect the best from their employees. There are many programs available for employee engagement and learning. Even though much is expected of you and their standards are high, I have always felt that they truly care for me and my family.

Cons

If you aren't self-motivated, and willing to go the extra mile at times, you may not succeed at Pape-Dawson. The opportunities are there, you just have to work for it.
