Typical corporate, mep office in the DC area.

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

A good place to start your career and gain experience. There's plenty of work. They're hiring.

Cons

The deadlines between submissions are too close! Dull working environment. Not a good place to be if you would like a little work life balance, but the new office VP is making strides to improve the office morale and environment. Easy to become burned out.

A well-run office in San Francisco working on many different types of building projects, large and small.

Mechanical design engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Work on multiple different projects at a time, gives lots of exposure to different designs. Good mix of young, recent graduates and more experienced engineers gives the office an energetic yet knowledgeable feel; great place to start and advance a career. All project managers and senior staff very approachable and wiling to answer questions or give advice. Large growth in the Bay Area for commercial (and residential) buildings. Looking forward to more integration across market sectors (structural, transportation, environmental, etc).

Cons

Staff expansion due to large volume of work and global merger with Genivar. Still doesn't seem too corporate and bureaucratic, but could in the near future if national management doesn't keep this in mind. Lots of projects means many deadlines that often require more hours. Not much formal training other than on actual projects.
