Pros

great company benefits, very laid back culture

Cons

very poor management, managers cannot bring work on to the hands of production staff during the promised allocated time during your weekly schedule, resulting in scrambling of billable work in order to meet a very highly unrealistic 95% billable rate. A couple months into my employment, I noticed that work repeated doesn't come through as planned, while managers will be either busy with their more "urgent matters" or took extended vacation, leaving production staff to a stand still.

Business Outlook

Pros

VHB has a strong entrepreneurial spirit and "can do" atmosphere. VHB is a well balanced mixture of civil engineers, environmental and water resources scientists, planners and landscape architects. VHB highly values project managers and technically oriented engineers equally.

Cons

Project managers work hard to bring work and the workload can be daunting at times, but fellow workers step up to share the load.
