Excellent place to work
Mar 25, 2022 - Design Engineer in Seattle, WARecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Excellent community and values at the Port. This makes it relatively easy to work here for an extended period of time without burnout. Also, the breadth of projects between the Seaport and Airport makes for a good environment for engineers who prefer regular exposure to new design challenges.
Cons
Not the same niche experience you will get at most consulting firms. Also, engineers get fairly limited exposure to direct design on high-profile projects, tending to serve in more of a review capacity on large projects as the in-house group is relatively small.
