Fantastic Company

Pros

Schaefer is by far the best company for which I've worked. They truly care about your development as an employee and actually have development paths to help you reach your goals. They're patient and truly want you to learn what you're doing and why you're doing it. They also care about you as a person. Not only do your immediate coworkers get to know you, but upper management sets up semi-regular meetings with employees just to get to know them better. They have employee appreciation week and many appreciation events throughout the year.

Cons

Working between the different offices is difficult, but it's great that you can work in one location and use the resources at another office.

Pros

Schaefer cares about it's people. They invest in training and development and culture (fun activities for everyone) and have a mentorship program. Schaefer also allows engineers to focus on diverse projects and empowers them to manage projects and become owners at the firm. We just moved into our new Cincinnati office late last year and that has allowed us to have a more open environment with additional flexibility.

Cons

Schaefer is growing and there are some growing pains , however overall, it's a great place to work.
