Pros

Great long term benefits if you plan on staying the majority of your career. Great team that will help you grow if you prioritize it

Cons

Lower Base Salary than competitors, and the long term benefits have a vesting period. not a good fit for people that will job hop in a competitive market. great for your resume but you wont get ahead in pay scale here

Pros

Great company culture, exposure to some amazing projects, project teams are fantastic, camaraderie with your team, great resources and onboarding to ensure you learn to do your job well. ESOP and bonuses are great.. if you stick it out long enough.

Cons

Pay is not as competitive as other GC's, you can be relatively underpaid as they rely too heavily on preaching about the ESOP (which takes you 5 years to even be fully vested). Can be very political and leadership kinda plays favorites, some people who dont deserve it get promoted quick and others who do deserve it never get promoted. Long work hours and depending on the jobsite it can be pretty high-stress (but thats just construction for ya).
