Pros
Overall a great company to work for. The Dewberry at Work values are not just preached, they are put into practice from the top, down. Awesome, smart people with impressive backgrounds and skillsets. A lot of opportunities for growth if you apply yourself and work hard. Many employees have been at the company for several years. Has a family feel to it. Great mentors and leaders who are willing to help you meet your goals and succeed. If you work hard, you will receive recognition and be valued.
Cons
The benefits package… expensive health insurance, only 2% 401k match after fully vested (3 years), no bonuses, not a lot of paid holidays or PTO. Salary is below average for the area. Mid-level employees are leaving due to more competitive salaries and benefits packages being offered elsewhere… HR claims it’s due to lack of growth opportunities but won’t address the real issue. Senior-level promotions within the firm at times seem to be awarded due to how long someone has been with the company, rather than on merit or performance. Junior-level staff are frequently expected to pick up slack as a result of incompetencies in project mgmt. If you are a hard worker who doesn’t complain and is willing to help, it can be easy to burnout.
