Pros

Project teams led by directors with tons of experience and very knowledgeable, friendly atmosphere, flexible working, good IT equipment, good access to design software and libraries (guides, standards, etc.) and clear progression route, interesting and challenging projects, good work-life balance (very rarely have to stay late), very good compensation (pays a lot higher than the rest of the companies)

Cons

Mandatory 3 days in the office - personal preference is 100% remote and to come to office on as-needed-basis. Quite often, I'll be in the office, sit there, have teams meeting anyway, and go home. Could have used that commute time on other things instead.

Pros

Culture, schedule flexibility, depending on management, remote work, and employee owned, okay benefits

Cons

Parking sucks. The office is in downtown so you have pay just about any where you park. Work is repetitive or stagnant sometimes.

Pros

Fantastic teamwork. The Coastal Group is very close and highly collaborative. There is a lot of support from upper management in the Coastal Group. Lots of projects lined up.

Cons

PTO and Sick Leave are tied together.
