Interesting work for diverse clients; reasonable work-loads; good policies with regard to part-time work

Svantaggi

Mediocre "executive leadership team;" terrible management; bizarre disincentives built into a "matrix" system by which people are either "doers" or "sellers" or "managers," but not allowed to be some combination of two or three of these things

Vantaggi

Flexible hybrid schedule is very nice and starting salary is high for early career engineers.

Svantaggi

The main people running the company are not engineers and you can tell. They are all focused on utilization with rates often set at 97% or higher. This had led to my supervisor asking/telling me to not charge company required trainings. As an early engineer it really feels like they don't want to invest in me and only care about their bottom line. If you are an early career structural engineer you will also not get any meaningful work until you've been with the company for at least 5 years. The senior engineers do not trust you and will only give you grunt work.
