      Solid leadership, but it is the people that make this a great place to work

      Pros

      - The sky is the limit - Happy group of people - The D in DPR cares about employees at all levels - solid benefits package that is very broad - hardly any micro-managing - smart group of people

      Cons

      - the work hours, even when you are not in operations, the expectation is that you are there at least from 7:00 to 6:00 - that leadership on a regional level is a bunch of guys who have wives that do not work giving them a ton of flexibility when compared to the "modern" couple where both wife and husband work - performance review process is really antiquated, management turns the responsibility of feedback back on the employee saying that they need to do more to get feedback - it is a culture that takes outsiders a long time to grasp

      Lack of Leadership

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Flexible schedule and independent environment.

      Cons

      The senior estimators lacks of estimating knowledge and leadership, often trying to appease an unreasonable owner by demanding unreasonable work from the estimators. Despite promoting an inclusive work environment, there exists a closely bonded group within the team that operates with impunity, avoiding any repercussions for their mistakes, which are instead blamed on the estimators.

      Good Experience

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good experience at a reputable company. There are people who are willing to help you understand construction and ways to conduct business. Pay was better compared to similar companies assuming you work normal hours. Utilized certain programs that made work more efficient compared to other companies. Active efforts amongst peers, supervisor and upper management to have you engaged in the organization and build up your career. Emphasis on inclusion and building relationships among all employees.

      Cons

      Disorganization and mismanagement across the board. Having a flat organization is great for establishing mutual respect amongst all employees and a feeling of ownership to the project, but it can create chaos, lack of direction and expectation of having additional responsibilities that are not within your job description. Work/Life Balance is not good and expect to work long hours. Getting promoted takes longer compared to other companies even if you're over qualified for the position. Turnover is becoming more of a problem. You can have difficult people on your team that will make your projects miserable. Constant unnecessary tension between SPW and GC teams.
