Pros

Beautiful building. They have a dry cleaning drop off inside the building. - nothing else I can really think of.

Cons

All of the bad reviews here are very accurate and unfortunately the truth. This place is the definition of toxic. To start with, the interview process with HR they literally try to sell you by walking you around the building and showing it off. They will tell you about their "core values" and how important they are to company, which you will find out is far from the truth. Favoritism here is ridiculous and well shown. People are rewarded by agreeing with leadership regardless of how wrong they are. Crazy amount of nepotism. If you like high school then this is place for you. Young crowd fresh out of college, lots of workplace drama, people care more about their looks than job, you're either "in" or you're "out". PTO is a joke - 3 days off your 1st year of employment, WHICH INCLUDES SICK DAYS. I wouldn't recommend working here to my worst enemy.

Pros

Amazing company and culture. You get exposure to world class construction processes and it’s the Google of its space.

Pros

-Good working culture specifically for younger individuals looking to “work hard play hard” -Resources galore -Extensive state of the art campus

Cons

-There is a strong “suck-up” culture, whoever spends the most time currying favor with management appear to receive the most opportunities and perks -Underwhelming salaries for the amount of work, and the amount of flashy cars, and several thousand-dollar parties, among other things displayed at every corner of the office and work events -The culture tends to have a “high school environment” where people talk openly about others’ personal lives seeking retribution -One thing you can bet on is the number of empty promises from management, specifically executives
