Pros

I've worked at MSA for nearly two years. Employee-friendly, inclusive organization. Works hard at communicating and engaging with staff. An emphasis on client-service and a high quality of technical product allows the firm to "fight above its weight". Good career opportunities. Sensible growth goals. Sees people, their skills and experience, and their professional reputations, as primary assets.

Cons

Struggles at times with organizational structure and business processes. Caused primarily by the change from a single to multiple regional offices. Management and ownership acknowledge the issues and are working to improve.

Pros

MSA is different from previous firms that I have worked at. While other firms chase large projects that sometimes lead to relationships, MSA pursues relationships that lead to projects. If you're interested in improving your community, environment, etc. your primary focus is on people and relationships, not projects and profits. MSA is definitely focused on people and relationships with our clients.

Cons

As a service-first company, some clients seem to take advantage of that "go the extra mile" attitude. Maybe it's unintentional - with many clients getting "managed" by larger, national firms, it's plausible that they're used to routine push-back on scope/fee issues. It's still challenging to continue providing high quality service for clients that don't appreciate it, even if we don't pursue work with them in the future. Fortunately, negative client relationships are few and far between.
