Pros

I appreciated all of my coworkers who are all smart people that provide a sense of community. Challenging problems always have multiple heads that are creative and can find good solutions.

Cons

Everyone always is wondering what their project it. Everyone talks about the time they were laid off or when the next layoff will be. Just a constant pressure that clouds everyone's day. Management is all very old school in their mentality. High pressure to get projects finished under budget, but most of the structural engineering management has fallen way out of touch with current design requirements.

Pros

Hi visibility projects. Rewarding experiences Competitive Pay

Cons

Sub-bar Project Management team. Condescending at times. Entitled. Sense of superiority. Confusing Hierarchical Structure and chain of reporting. Two managers. Administrative Organizational Unit Manager and a project manager. You report to both. Not flexible at the implementation of latest and most robust design software. Extremely cautious about the implementation of AI, sacrificing productivity and cutting edge competitiveness. Extreme focus on employees training on the companies policies and procedures, but not on the technical development of employees. Do not internally promote, rather they hire from outside for vacant higher positions. Remote workers are considered second class citizens. Not equal to those who work from the office, despite their credentials and pedigrees.
