Vantaggi
The best reasons to work at LDC are the people. The Engineers, Surveyors, Planners, Technicians at LDC are bright, driven, and committed to company success and your own. Everyone is committed to doing their best, and stepping in/up to help out when things are over-busy. LDC staff has grown a lot in the last few years and that has really helped to create a work environment where workload is shared. The work variety is great with SF residential, multi-family, commercial/multi-use, multi-story, medical, industrial, etc. Also, for a small firm its amazing how significant LDC's footprint is among state and regional organizations, like Master Builder Association, and Department of Ecology (Stormwater/Water Quality), Phase 1 jurisdictions, ADA advisory, etc. It has been my experience that LDC has a great reputation wherever they work, which is nearly every review jurisdiction and district within the Puget Sound region. LDC includes in its services, Engineering, and planning, but includes internal Survey, Structural which allows LDC to provide more complete service and allows LDC to move/respond quickly. LDC also has a strong telecommunications group, which provides opportunity for exposure to that business sector, and some additional variety.
Svantaggi
As a smaller and growing firm, LDC has only a small percentage of its work that is associated with Public/Municipal contracts or Capital Improvement programs. LDC is growing and wants to expand into hat sector, but is still largely dependent on private development.
