Pros

Great talented group and good work atmosphere. The opportunity to work on different projects makes bridge inspection more enjoyable. Good for an entry-level job with a lot of room for learning and growth at first.

Cons

Too much corporate bs. The company is publicly traded so nothing trickles down to the people actually sweating in the field. Unnecessary pressure to get work done fast and on time with no added incentive. Hard to progress when you get to an intermediate level as seniors are nowhere to go to give you space. Bonuses are nowhere to be seen. You have to beg for a proper yearly raise. Healthcare benefits are subpar.

Pros

With over 30 years in the engineering industry, I can say without hesitation that this is the most employee-attentive firm I have ever had the privilege of working for. What sets this organization apart is its commitment to staying at the forefront of the industry — not just technologically, but in how it values and invests in its people. The collective expertise of thousands of dedicated professionals here doesn't just benefit the company; it makes a meaningful impact on the world, and that sense of purpose has genuinely reignited my passion for engineering. The opportunities for growth are both vast and real. Across the firm's many initiatives, there is something for everyone who comes to work curious, motivated, and eager to contribute. This is not a place where ambition goes unnoticed. After more than three decades in this field, I have found a place I am proud to be part of — and one I hope to remain a part of for many years to come. If you are considering joining this team, I wholeheartedly encourage you to take that step.

Cons

If I have to mention a con, it would be monetary compensation, but who doesn't want more money. I took a paycut to join this firm and the amount of time I am investing, could be worth more than my current salary warrants.
