Pros

Great projects A lot of experience can be gained really quickly and a great reputation in the construction industry

Cons

Slow growth. You have to know someone in the company in order to be paid well in the company. No structure in place for lower level employees A lot of downtime when it's not busy and you end up doing menial things in order to keep busy BIM and Lean are more of a brand initiative, as opposed to any actual agenda to be innovative in the NY business unit

Pros

Opportunity for advancement is second to none. Support systems and resources are there, hard workers can and will move up in the company quickly. Compensation is what I would describe as competitive/average, you won't get rich but you won't struggle either. Generous PTO offerings and all the bank holidays are paid days off, at least for salaried staff.

Cons

Corporate feel, corporate policies, corporate everything. You need to have a strong stomach for cringe inducing, insufferable corporate nonsense that will be injected in your day to day by executives that have a poor understanding of how to effectively manage trade partners, job site relations, and clients alike. Also, you will work like a dog, work life balance is non existent. The needs of the project or demands of the owner are expected to come first, reinforced by a culture of 'workaholism' that permeates all facets of the company. Typically at least 10 hour days 5 days a week for operations staff, large projects can get far worse than that, like inhumane expectations for work hours and production.
