Pros

Excellent Benefits, Employee owned so you are looked after. Some really amazingly talented and intelligent people to work with on some of the most interesting design and construction jobs in the world.

Cons

Huge overhead due to the above which makes getting business externally difficult. Still very male, white and middle class. Doesn't represent the city it is based in very well. Even though hierarchy is flat its very much about who you know and very cliquey.

Pros

great supervisor, lots of professional development opportunities

Cons

insane workload and expect you to be available for work 24/7. some teams are drowning and others have no resourcing. layoffs happen completely randomly and they lay off people who are 100 percent billable. profit share is bs and you get nothing as a junior member
