Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at DPR Construction full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
Some good folks. Some good ideas. Pays well.
Cons
Very poorly treated. Tense. Adding cost to subcontractors, which makes DPR less competitive, and much harder to create good working relationships
Advice to Management
Value your superintendents. Don't undervalue superintendents. Need to work on the basics. Too much effort goes into things that don't matter

RecommendsNeutral OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at DPR Construction full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
Good people, great projects, top clients and fun culture.
Pretty good work life balance for the industry and lots of flexibility. No clock watching, only expectation is get your work done.Cons
Average salaries for the area and bonuses are not tied to merit. Don't expect much compensation for exceeding expectations or having successful projects. Difficult to get rid of weak people.
Advice to Management
Focus on promoting from within and retaining people. The Bay area is the most expensive place to live in the country. Start separating it from other offices and realize you need to pay more to get good people or keep the ones you have.

Pros
With a culture that asks you to challenge the status quo there is a ton of room to grow and have your voice heard. Work hard and play hard
Cons
Its not for everyone. Lots of freedom and with that comes a lot of personal responsibility.

"Superintendent"
StarStarStarStarStarI worked at DPR Construction full-time (More than a year)
Pros
Great culture, with good work ethic. The company has plenty of tools at your disposal that you may use to improve your work flow/Jobsite.
Cons
The culture is talked about a lot but isn't shown by a lot of middle management, especially on the East coast. Not having a SOP for certain things is a horrible idea.
Advice to Management
Learn to communicate with your employees, which is something you preach, before assuming or hearing one side of a story.
