      Pros

      Great place to start as an entry level engineer and leave after you get your P.E. The company invests in technology and employees have access to working tools.

      Cons

      Typical Corporate environment with bureaucracy. Need to kiss management's ASS to get promoted. You need to keep your mouth shut because you don't want be on "the list". Yes on "the list". Lot of backstabbind. Whenever you ask questions, the management tells you it comes from Corporate...You can work your ass out but your performance will just be "Meet expectations".

      Pros

      Great place to work. Flexibility, work from home options available. Tons of opportunities across multiple disciplines. Work life balance is great. The people are awesome.

      Cons

      Pay is unfortunately on the really low end of the industry. A lot of turnover because people leave in order to get a better salary due to the low pay. I also don’t like that your manager (RTL) is also a manager for 20-30 people, and you are all under one large group instead of various teams. The matrix system is a bit odd to me.
