Pros

Modern looking space, no cubicles.

Cons

Would not recommend anyone to work for this company. During my years here, experienced several racist remarks by coworkers, although they pride themselves in being a progressive company, their diversity inclusion program is only for show. Very white male heavy, specially in upper management positions, stuck in their old ways of doing engineering, with a lot of push back on innovation. There was very obvious favoritism, cliques, anyone outside of them was treated differently. HR was not supportive when reached out to, clearly siding with the company whenever something is brought up about the company. Also, I was critically underpaid. My next job was almost double the salary.

Pros

Job pays well for the area Firm culture is good and seems to be improving with current firm leadership Lots of diverse business sectors and multidisciplinary team keeps the company flexible and makes it a good place to learn and develop new skill sets. The size of the company makes it one of the more diverse and inclusive I’ve worked for.

Cons

It’s on the larger side so policy changes can be slow and there is a bit of a bottleneck with hiring and annual reviews. Project work is, understandably, prioritized over making time for staff and overhead focused tasks
