      I worked at Freese and Nichols full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      Great team, great bosses and most of the people are great to work with. Great benefits and a culture unlike anywhere I’ve worked before.

      Cons

      Most people enjoy working there, so they stick around. This means there’s not a lot of room for advancement.

      Advice to Management

      Corporate employees are treated differently than technical staff. It’s next to impossible becoming an associate or principal.

      Pros

      There is always someone to ask if you have a question.
      Getting it done right is more important than profit
      You are never put in ethical dilemmas.
      You have the option to get paid for overtime or bank away those hours for vacation.

      Cons

      If you have to cover a spouse and kids, the health insurance premium as of 2017 is about $715/month witheld from your paycheck.

      Advice to Management

      You’ve got to do something about the high health insurance premiums.

      Pros

      Great culture
      Good pay
      Amazing people

      FNI is a wonderful place to work. While there are always some nits to pick; overall this is a really good company.

      Cons

      Advancement is pretty much confined to engineers. Understandable in the field and they are making changes to include others somewhat, but for the most part PE = boss.

      Pros

      Goal oriented, ethical, professional as well as family oriented. A fun place to work as well as given many opportunities for personal growth through courses provided.

      Cons

      Don’t really have any other than the pay scale could’ve been better for the department. I know there are budgets to follow, but showing recognition with higher raises would’ve been nice.

      Pros

      Engaging work -- If you want to be interested in what your are doing for a living, Freese and Nichols is the place.
      Nice people -- Both the SMARTEST and the NICEST people I have ever worked with.

      Cons

      Not perfect, always improving. This is a company that moves deliberately, which sometimes means not fast, but they execute well.

      Advice to Management

      Keep promoting and pursuing commitment to employees and clients
