Pros

Good Benefits - Health, Vision, Dental, 401k matching up to 3% Strong Safety Culture Good Diversity at all levels (below national positions) If your project is staffed properly, work/life balance is good.

Cons

Salary is on the lower end for industry and bonuses are rare. Processes and operations are not consistent from job to job, making it hard to put together and run a project successfully. No clear way to advance in your career. Upper management doesn't offer much support when a project is showing red flags.

Pros

- Work/life balance is really high ( it's the best in all 8 companies I've been) - There is no stress on your shoulders - Colleagues are very friendly and helpful - At least 2 days a month you were spending it doing some type of training - Managers are very good on leadership skills, very laid down, down to earth - Great culture ( it's the best in all 8 companies I've been) - Best company at building project management experience

Cons

- They didn't take into consideration my career progression desires and that was the reason for leaving. - They recognized I am very good with BIM and software and they wanted me to develop into that direction but the salaries paid inside the business were extremely low. Even though I told them I want to go into project management, they were giving me more and more BIM work. - Project managers were paid very well but the engineers were around approx. 28k when most of the small consultancies pay 45k in the region. Some technicians where paid 14k-17k which is the poverty limit in Cambridge. - They did make differences between foreigners and their British counterparts. Most of the foreigners were extremely underpaid and there were almost no career progression opportunities for them. - For an experienced highway engineer with technical skills, they do quite easy projects in the design department
