Pros

I liked the company as a whole and the original DPR offices and mindsets. Great company if you are working on the west coast.

Cons

I was harassed by one Senior employee for a year, afer I filed a complaint with HR the employee got into a physical altercation with me. Then I was fired. The most amount of office politics I have ever seen.

Pros

Used to have a family feel Company parties are epic Opportunity to move up (for some)

Cons

As a superintendent, pay is lower end of the market No accountability for PM's Work is always put in front of well being - CRAZY hours are expected Field is treated like second class citizens Self Preform work NEVER works together and causes jobsite issues Nepotism is alive and well This company used to be great. Then the "good old boys" club kicked in. If your not in the "click" then your SOL. They continue to hire college guys to run work and these guys have never swung a hammer in there life. Most dont know how to even read a tape. Yes, the "old school" mentality is fading but so is the quality of work. Get some builders and stop relying on the SSG to make all the money.

Pros

Corporate initiatives from the bay area are innovative, healthy, and industry-leading. Great place to hone your soft skills and outside of the box thinking. Many personal development opportunities and encouraged to try new things. Benefit from a wide network of national support, and subsidiary companies to tap resources from. Big name, well-known.

Cons

Local leadership throws all of those "Pros" out the window, and rewards those who can help cover up their mistakes, Non-existent training and development for real building and coordination skills for the jobsite teams, Popularity competitions determine opportunities and how well you will be supported in your role, Your performance will be subjectively judged on anonymous feedback while leadership will refuse to support initiatives that could improve the feedback, Poor support overall for Superintendents and poor leadership from the General Superintendent - this is a PM-led company, not a builder-led company. Committees of people who do not build will rate your level of "kool-aid" as a number on a spreadsheet and decide your pay and opportunities in this manner. You can count on the work/life balance to include only people who sit at a desk. Massive wasteful capital expenditures and office perks are easier to write off on the balance sheet than taking care of people.
