Pros
- Great company culture - Good resources for learning - Robust quality check system to ensure jobs are done correctly - Great website/interface - Just introduced an ESOP program - Flexible hours - Amazing stadium projects
Cons
- Pay is lower than industry average - They start level 1 designers with the option to earn overtime, but move you to a salaried wage upon a promotion. For me, this was an effective pay cut as my new salary did not adjust for the overtime I had worked. - Huge focus on program work for younger designers which stunts engineering growth as you are forced to abide by a prototype and churn out plans on tight deadlines. - Smaller disciplines such as telecom or plumbing are segregated into specialists, so these disciplines are often neglected or not recognized for their contribution. The CEO once said "The words rockstar and plumbing designer do not usually go together..." when promoting a skilled plumbing engineer. This was meant to be seen as a compliment, but it makes others in the discipline feel undervalued. - HVAC designers are often asked to move to plumbing full time and then lose recognition as a result.
