Langan Engineering and Environmental Services Reviews

Pros

Cons

Because of the amount of responsibility they place on staff and managers, the work can really pile up. There are big opportunities here, but it will take hard work to get the most out of them. Sometimes, it can feel understaffed.

Cons

This is 100% location specific, so be open to moving...
