Pros

Suffolk's interview process was thorough and substantive. Great effort was put into the hiring process that made it feel that by design it was for the mutual benefit of employer and candidate. Confident yet humble; direct yet personable. Number of touch points, rounds of interviews, etc. just about pefect. Met with multiple executives which provided a first-hand impression of the high caliber, polished, and professional leaders of the organization while also a glimpse at their personalities; and to some extent management style/philosophy. All data points were invaluable to determine cultural fit. Suffolk was a standout among the interview processes of 'like' competitors. There were not differences on any level after becoming part of the team.

Cons

No criticisms at this time.

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Very smart and talented folks working here. Good pay, good benefits, generous with time off/vacation and family leave. Attentive to any issues brought up by employees.

Cons

Immaturity of some project teams shows in team dynamic or how project operations run. Very large projects run by individuals with limited experience distracts from what should be a team effort. A sense of uncertainty about the direction of the culture in the southern California market vs the Boston way.
