Pros

really great coworkers and office culture

Cons

access to the work you want to do is highly dependent on your supervisor and isn't a guaranteed, across-the-board opportunity. some supervisors are more flexible than others and you won't know which kind you have til you're hired.

Solid consulting job, if you enjoy that kind of work

Pros

Very friendly and helpful coworkers.

Cons

Although the company encourages a multidisciplinary mindset, the truth is that as a consultant, time is money, and you should stick to your lane. It was impossible for me to diversify my portfolio within the company, even after internally networking with many, many people. If you enjoy environmental remediation, both before a remediation system is constructed (air, water, and soil sampling/monitoring), during (oversight of subcontractor work, i.e., standing around), or after (more air, water, and soil sampling/monitoring), then this field is for you. The office work is rote and monotonous after awhile, and mostly involves dry technical writing and administrative scheduling for future sampling/monitoring/remediation events. Unfortunately, the space to innovate within the environmental consulting field is very small, as I see it.

Horrible Exploitation Culture

Pros

Helpful if you really need a job as a foreign national

Cons

Exploits foreign workers and students by paying them low salaries, promising H1B and not applying for it and no bonuses to match cost of living. They are riddled with lawsuits left, right and center.
