Great company to work for
Mar 31, 2023 - Civil Engineer in Columbia, SCRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Great people, great stock price. Heard some folks complaining about diversity/inclusion. Really depends on the office. It’s a huge company, some areas are loaded with liberals and some areas with conservatives. I personally don’t hire based on race or gender, I hire the most qualified for the position. So my team is a good mix. But again I don’t come to work to fill a quota, I come to work to get things done. That being said there are many groups and opportunities to express whatever opinion you may have.
Cons
Sometimes corporate leadership is out of touch with what’s going on, but kind of expected with this many people. Stock price has been fantastic so keep doing what they are doing.

Great place to grow your skills, great work life balance, company culture is really supportive and passionate about their work.
Cons
As an intern, you come in with limited knowledge. When given a difficult task and asking the manager for clarification I was told that I should already know how to do this.

Great team and great projects
Apr 18, 2023 - Water/Wastewater EngineerRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
ESOP drives a great culture. We've got experts in many different areas who are willing to share their knowledge and help grow the next generation.
Cons
there is a push to go back to in-person, but nothing has been set in stone yet. Depends on your supervisor if hybrid/work remote schedule is feasible and supervisors have differing approaches to this.
