TL;DR: You are really at the mercy of the project and its managers. It can be a great experience or you can get the worst end of the stick.
Whether you get far in this company really comes down to the project. When I was hired on, I got put on a huge project that required me to sit in a truck supervising concrete pours a majority of the time. This lasted for 6 months before I was moved to a few smaller projects. This is not typical, of course, but there have been horror stories from other engineers. One of the first year engineers I was hired on with chose to quit because for eight months, he did little to no engineering work at all! He was put on sweeping/cleanup crew so he moved on.
Depending on your project, you may have ridiculous hours. Regardless, don't expect any semblance of work-life balance. On a normal work day, they expect at least 10 hours (not including drive time, so pray you live close-ish). Expect to work at least 50 hours a week. No overtime pay and no incentive to actually show up past 40 hours besides the fact that you are salary; you HAVE to be there. On a few rare occasions, there have been 36 hour shifts with 2 hours to sleep in a company site truck. The company will reimburse you for $20 of food if you work over 12 hours.
Depending on the manager, you may be on your own when it comes to teaching you about the industry and how things get done. Some managers do really well in that aspect, but some will make their own work a priority over teaching and want you to just figure it out. Some may scoff and ask you "why you didn't already know that?" But if/when you make a mistake, they will wonder how you managed to make such a mess and then will chalk it up as a "learning experience" at the expense of how professional you look and the owner's money/time.
Some managers/superintendents will make a mistake and throw you, the young engineer, under the bus to save face. Also know, all the managers talk. So if you (or the managers who threw you under the bus) make a big enough mistake that it catches some attention, all the other managers will find out and when you are looking to go to a new project, you will be viewed as an undesirable liability and are subject to being laid off/fired.
Clark isn't a terrible place to work. Its actually on the better end, but there needs to be more focus on how managers actually teach and lead.
