Pros

The "worker bees" are talented...and don't stay long, unfortunately. Benefits are good; wages are good.

Cons

I cannot for the life of me figure out what this company actually does. I am sure that the core business of civil engineering provides solid and reputable service but the other divisions mostly posture, promise everything and deliver nothing. Structure of any kind is non-existent. If you haven't had a job before, this is not at all what it's like in the real world. If you have had a job before, for goodness sake, keep looking because your reputation will suffer if you are with Willdan long.

C-suite has more ambition than acumen. Board seems to be asleep at the wheel.

Pros

Compensation is competitive. Company is focused on growth in the right markets and industries. Has large contracts with major players in energy efficiency.

Cons

The c-suite is a "band of brothers" who value loyalty over merit. They're insular, heavy-handed, lack self-awareness, show little ability to adapt to change, and lack the industry knowledge to develop and implement a clear vision or brand for the company. Lots of ego, little accountability. Financial control over contracts is weak. Operations are a total mess - lots of "duct tape and chewing gum" systems in place. HR is virtually nonexistent. Women and minorities are underrepresented.
