      Pros

      The company prioritizes bid-build projects over design build. This allows for a better work life balance and more stable profitability for the company. You can create your own schedule including a hybrid work schedule. My personal managers are excellent and the company is filled with friendly and hardworking professionals.

      Cons

      no maternity leave above 6 weeks disability. No benefits for childcare reimbursement.

      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.
