Vantaggi

Work does not take too much mental bandwidth

Svantaggi

The work is unimaginative and mostly secretarial-type. I spend most of time editing documents and commenting on third-party deliverables rather than doing any technical work myself. If you are looking for a place where you will be pushed to perform state-of-practice technical work, this is not it. This is a place for people looking to just clock-in and clock-out, collecting your paycheck, and not looking for technical, professional, or intellectual growth or any impactful or challenging work.

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.
