Pros

I’m very happy here. I worked at small companies and big one. I worked at engineering firms with over 200 engineers and small ones with 20. Dlr fit right in the middle. Some of the smaller companies I been with were penny pinchers and the big ones too corporate. Great engineering leader. Lots of school project. You will learn lot dealing with the pain in the butt DSA but you will learn a lot too.

Cons

Some discipline seem to be very short staff and they get burned out. Dlr gotta really try harder to get more help or people will quit because they will feel like too much on their shoulders. I’ve been there and it’s not a good feeling. You going to have to look harder and maybe pay more to hire or keep staff. It’s thought finding help but if more people feel they getting burned out then they will quit. It’s going to get worse.

Pros

-Good support for getting your license -Lots of office locations

Cons

-You aren’t valued as an employee, you are seen as a person in a seat and replaceable. This is made very clear during layoff seasons. -You don’t move up based on your project work or even your annual reviews. Promotions, raises and bonuses are heavily influenced by who you are friends with in leadership and how well you play corporate politics - Company has long term relationships with corrupt clients and refuses to damage or end this relationship despite internal employee outrage when this was shared. Multiple articles have been released about this incident and despite outrage they are continuing this work. I highly recommend googling this company before working for them as they lie about this during the interview process. -Have to pay to park at work -Process for receiving associate and principal titles is a popularity contest and not based on your actual contributions. -Regularly expected to work unpaid over time and project staffing is very inconsistent and unorganized. -Many people are underpaid and raises are percentage increases vs performance based. -Culture of Dallas office is extremely draining and hypocritical. Younger staff being held to higher standards than leadership. (Example - holding younger staff back salary wise due to not having a license while having multiple unlicensed people in positions of leadership) -Took away Hybrid work option and brought back mandatory 4 days in office -Sustainability is used as a marketing tool instead of actually being applied to projects. Lots of greenwashing happening on projects to meet AIA requirements.
