"Not very clear on "expectations""
StarStarStarStarStarApproves of CEOI worked at Kimley-Horn full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
Good benefits. Lots of office gatherings and activities. Very friendly people. Lots of brown bag opportunities to learn about different disciplines.
Cons
Looooong hours. I was told in a meeting to "improve within a couple weeks" in order to be able to stay, but that is clearly impossible to do within a week or two. Not a lot of communication between PM and EIT. A lot of throwing info/data at you without actually "knowing" what you're doing.
Advice to Management
Set realistic goals, achievements and expectations for new hires/graduate engineers.

Employee-friendly, profitable business model, generous compensation packages that focus on rewording performance and contribute to the success of others, good health benefits, and a caring work environment.

No overtime pay is provided, and bonuses are paid out over an extended period of time in the year following the actual year of performance.

Allow employees to accrue personal leave when they start employment, regardless of whether they start in the middle of the month or not.

Pros
Pay and benefits are very generous. They encourage teamwork and balance.
Cons
As a company involved in the construction industry you have to work some long hours. But they stress work/life balance and mean it.
Advice to Management
Ease up on the inter office activities. There are sectors that cannot participate. Have a plan in place to include them on days that weather stops work.
