Pros

Good transit benefits Passionate coworkers Some upwards mobility (if you want to give up production/specialization and be a team/project manager)

Cons

WAY below average pay REALLY high turnover Lack of direction from upper management Staff is expected to make up for management's decisions to underbid on projects by being creative with how they use time No mentorship, direction, or really any training whatsoever for recent grads. It's sink or swim for these folks leading to a lot of unduly stress on their part and wasted budget throughout the company's projects.

Pros

Everyone here is bought in and laser focused on the mission to improve our transportation infrastructure by creating better multimodal options for people to get where they want to go without driving. You won't meet a group of more inspired or passionate people about the work that we do. Beautiful downtown office space with stocked kitchen and amazing views. Flexible hybrid work environment, most people come in 2 days a week. Growth opportunity for high performers, if you work hard, your work will usually be recognized and opportunities will come. many leaders have been at the company and grown with it for a long time and are standard-bearers for the culture. constantly growing and adding headcount as well, the business is in good shape financially Truly a national firm so opportunities to work on projects and collaborate with experts in the field all over the country. Great PTO, wellness, bike, and commuter benefits.

Cons

The pace and nature of consulting isn't for everyone. Priorities and focus shift often, and you have to be adaptable and open to change
