Civil Designer - Civil Design Engineer LandDesign Employee Review

Great talent, leadership and potential to grow in the DFW market.

With the potential for growth in the DFW market, and so many areas to grow, staying focused on or two markets is tough.

Pay and benefits are decent. Hours are not outrageous, most weeks are just under 45 hours. Decent starter job, but most people with 3-5 years experience will leave for better opportunities.

No sick time and the PTO isn't great. Lack of diversity in leadership, holidays (no MLK day or Juneteenth off), or thinking (there is a "LandDesign" way of doing things, going outside that or questioning the established way of doing work is frowned upon). Getting pigeon-holed into one type of project or task is very common in my experience. Talk of "long hallways" but no actual cohesion between offices. A lot of playing into the games, fighting for popularity in order to get good projects and move up in the firm. Depending on the office/studio, projects can be pretty lackluster.
