Not micro managed & generally allowed to work independly with little supervision. Salaries kept low but topped up with 2-3 bonuses per year. Great co-workers. Lots of team building events. Casual atmosphere.
Cons
Difficult for women to get promoted- real estate development / construction is very much male oriented and favor men for advancement. Very conservative--not into risk taking so change is slow to happen. They give the 'we're like a family here' vibe but when push comes to shove, the actual family protects their interests and staff are sacrificed; business is business. Small family run company so projects are sometimes few and far between.
