Pros

Central office location; innovative equipment and desk setup (adjustable desk/double monitor)

Cons

Dull environment, little attempt to setup company sponsored outings/events out of date reporting/reconciliation processes and understaffed in multiple areas. New hire vacation not great, probably an industry minimum. Sick day policy disgraceful as PTO need be taken. Tuition policy is also terrible/ basically non existent in my opinion. A middle aged demographic for the most part.

Pros

Flexible hybrid schedule is very nice and starting salary is high for early career engineers.

Cons

The main people running the company are not engineers and you can tell. They are all focused on utilization with rates often set at 97% or higher. This had led to my supervisor asking/telling me to not charge company required trainings. As an early engineer it really feels like they don't want to invest in me and only care about their bottom line. If you are an early career structural engineer you will also not get any meaningful work until you've been with the company for at least 5 years. The senior engineers do not trust you and will only give you grunt work.
