RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at DOWL full-time (More than 10 years)
Pros
The number one pro is the people. There is a supportive team in place with managers that want to move the company forward. My second would be the great diversity of projects the firm is able to win - this is key to keeping any job interesting and fun. Third would have to be the potential to grow and expand your career in almost any direction you desire - just take the lead and know you will have the support.
Cons
Right now there are some growing pains and that can be frustrating for some. It can be a challenge in a positive way for others. You have to decide if you want to be part of a growing and evolving organization.
Advice to Management
Continue to use the internal news feed to share information and goals. You can never have too much communication. Be ready for another significant technological shift in the workplace for engineering consultants - something on the order of switching from drafting boards to PC's is coming with a younger workforce and rapid changes in workflows.

Pros
We're a great company doing great things, and I've had the opportunity to work on a wide range of exciting projects. There's no other place I'd rather work and no one else I'd want to work with.
Cons
From my perspective, there aren't any cons. Growing and challenging myself can be uncomfortable, but it's also professionally rewarding.
Advice to Management
Continue to challenge the staff so our professional lives remain exciting and fresh.
