The business is diverse, interesting and complex. There are many smart people and most express appreciation for helping them out. The pace is comfortable.

Cons

Lack of internal investments to improve productivity and to ensure long term success of the company. Lack of internal communiations programs especially about the strategic direction of the company. Not sure if top management values stewardship.

Pros

Hours are great and flexible. Compensation is great for interns and co-ops. Project engineering and ultimately project management roles are easier to acquire than at larger firms.

Cons

Company culture is at times too lax. Post graduate degrees for most engineering positions aside from top technical positions are not necessary. Therefore, your pay even with a Masters or P.E. does not reflect the going rate for the industry.
